Much Ado about Nothing

This post doesn't have anything to do with me being in Jerusalem. But it has A LOT to do with things I think are very important and tender. And I think tender things should always be remembered :-)

See THIS POST from the NieNie Dialogues.

More updates on Jerusalem coming your way!

Just In Case You Were Doubting

I want you to know that God cares
I want you to realize that God is aware
He knows when you're over-burndened
He understands that you just want to be your best
So trust in your strengths, rely on His grace
And remember that God often shows his love through His Children

We usually tell each other to count our many blessings
But how often do we actually follow such wise and precious counsel?
On days when you feel like you just can't do it, be still and think twice
For it is in those moments when God will send tender mercies
A genuine smile, a message of concern, or words of wisdom from unexpected sources
President Thomas S. Monson said that gratitude opens the windows of heaven and helps us feel God's love
I believe this--with all my heart.
And I believe that I am surrounded by incredible people who are very in tune to God's will and desires for them. Because these people have been the tender mercies in my life over and over and over again.

So just in case you were doubting God's love for you, remember that there are tender mercies interwoven all throughout your daily routine. If you can't detect them, it's because you're not really looking, listening or feeling :-)

I promise. They're present.
