Tender Mercies

We have truly been blessed by the kindness of many people too numerous to note. Our testimonies of angels, of loving service, and most definitely of a loving Heavenly Father and Savior have been strengthened this week and I am sure in weeks and years to come.

Elder Bednar put it most elloquently:

"We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance."
