Tender Mercies of the Lord


I saw a video of a talk given by Elder Bednar , he was talking about the tender mercies of the Lord. Very touching . you can see it here.

When I got home from work today there was a card in the mail from a very sweet lady who had lost her little girl this past year . Her daughter had HPE (Holoprosecephaly) , They were blessed to have had her in their home or 99 days. She had sent us a card saying that she knows the sixth month anniversary is near for when Jayden went to Heaven. She sent two bracelets ,one for me and one for his Mommy. She thought it might be a difficult time for us and wanted to let us know that we are not alone in this journey of loss, many other sweet and precious things were said in this note.
I am totally overwhelmed. We have never met but have talked on the phone, emailed and a few notes in the mail. This family shared a blog here telling their journey with their little girl and when Jayden was born and I was searching for information and answers I stumbled on an article (I believe I was led) on their family. The live in the NW as well as we do and had just lost their little one. I sent her an e-mail and she called me within minutes of getting it and I was able to talk ,ask questions and cry as much as I needed to . She intuitively knew that I needed someone to cry with.
The Lord does hear and answer our prayers but it is through somebody else's hands that help is given. I am so grateful for this sweet family and hope that someday we can meet in person. We are sisters of the heart for sure.
