The Tender Mercies of the Lord

The Tender Mercies of the Lord

When I watched this youtube clip, I thought about the tender mercies I receive. Back in December of 08 I met with my bishop to talk before I was to be married the following month. I told him that I was having a hard time understanding why I had found someone to marry at such a difficult time in my family's life. It wasn't making sense to me that I was supposed to be celebrating the happiest time in my life at a time that my family and I were hurting so much. He mentioned that Devin was a tender mercy in my life at this time.

A little over a year later now, and I can more clearly see God's hand in placing my special tender mercy in my life. He has helped replace the hurt for happiness, the sadness with laughter, and the loneliness with love. Not only for me but for the rest of my family as well.

What are your tender mercies?
