A blessing in the mail

I've been meaning to right about last weeks tender mercy.
When I was a missionary it was very easy to have tender mercies often. So often I wondered how bless I was to see the Lords hand in my everyday life.
Well, life caught up to me and I haven't stop to see the tender mercies in my life today.
It's very easy to get down, just look at everything you don't have, focus on any faults....the easy way for me is to jump on facebook and blogs and see everyone posting and updating about good news and happiness in their life.
It's hard to live in the time with technology used for good and evil. Think of the Pioneers...could you imagine if they had a facebook status. Man, the people in Missouri would have a hard time hearing about all the hardships they would have to overcome to reach to Utah. Would some not go because they know what is ahead of them?
They lived for the moment and they lived to follow the Prophet who followed the Lord.
The weekend we will hear from our wonderful Prophet and I have more faith in him to follow any promptings of the spirit in what I need to do to follow the Lord.
back to my tender mercy.
I knew I was going to have a slow day at work, so right before I left I grabbed the Ensign that came the day before. I knew if I was going to be sitting around I should read some up-lifting material. (I have some downers in the salon and can be very mean to others, I can't stand the cussing anymore!)
I sat in the kitchen/breakroom and starting reading, after the first message I started just skipping to more eye catching stories.
Their on page 25, a message called " Faith and infertility"
I thought, no way...Heavenly Father is really wanting me to know he hears and is answering my prayers. I started turning to the spiritual side of things during this trial but I felt like I didn't find much on this topic. Just hearing about others struggling with starting a family makes you part of a bond. It's different then anything else I felt, no I take that back. It felt like a bond you have with people that served in your mission. Only they know what it was like to serve in the Missouri Independence Mission. The ups and the downs, good and bad. It's like that bond. These couples know what my husband first hand go through and feel each and every days.
This was my great tender mercy, and I know this will help me through another day, another week.
