Yesterday while I was at work, I was cleaning some things up and saw that a customer had walked over to the batteries and looked like they needed help. I walked over there and it was our bishop in our old ward. He recognized me and asked how I was doing and mentioned that he had heard we had moved. He asked if he could get a hold of our bishop for us and let him know that we were in the ward. I told him yes and gave him my information and told him to tell the bishop that I needed him to come by and give her a blessing. After talking with him I KNEW that it was a tender mercy from our Heavenly Father. He KNEW that I was struggling, He KNEW that I needed something and He helped me obtain what I needed. I am so glad that He knows me and that He knows what I need. I am glad that he can hear my silent prayers that I was too scared to voice out loud.

Tender Mercy
The last few days I had been worrying about Lexi with this surgery and how I was going to get her a blessing. I wanted her to have one to be calm and to know that things would be ok. Since I work on Sundays I have been unable to attend church and I did not know the Bishop or how to get a hold of him. I don't know anyone in our complex that is LDS so I didn't know who to call. We don't have Home Teachers or Visiting Teachers and no one from the ward has ever been to visit us. I don't have any family that I can call to come and give her a blessing that lived nearby. So I didn't know what to do. It was something that I thought about and just plain worried about. I didn't voice it to anyone and no one knew the inner turmoil that was going on in my mind and my heart.

We were hoping that you were able to get someone to give her a blessing. Although you didn't say the bishop stopped by, I am hoping he did, or will. We were even thinking that we should run up on Wednesday night, or thought of calling Dallas to go up. Or a few other people we know up there. There is so much we want to say to you about the plans you have for your future, and ideas we wish we could express that might help to make it easier as you enter school again, and need to study and work and care for your family. Remember that there are many options available and that the Lord will help you make all the right decisions. We love you and the kids so much.
I was hoping she would have called to. It helps EVERYONE with blessings that all of us could use right now. BUT she said she would next time. I hope she is feeling better soon
What a great idea to record your tender mercy. He truly does know each of us and loves us!
