Counting My Blessings




We have been so blessed to have a son serving the Lord on a Mission.  I'll share with you a couple of humbling experiences, that I am so grateful for...

1.  Our air conditioner broke in the middle of summer.  Yikes!  You know those things can be quite costly especially considering it is a twelve years old unit.  My husband opened the thing up, talked to a couple of people, made a call and wala purchased a part for $20 and it worked.  I know that he was inspired by Heavenly Father.

2.  Miguel sent us a letter saying he needed a couple more pairs of nice pants.  He was swinging and decided to do a flip off of a swing and ripped his pants down the leg.  A lady at church said she could fix it, but he still felt like he could use a few more pairs.  The same day we got that letter, we received an unexpected check in the mail for $100 which just covered his pants, alterations and shipping.

I know that while we are financially and emotionally supporting our son while out serving the Lord, the Lord is financially blessing us and emotionally supporting us in Miguel's absence.  I am feeling so grateful and humbled for these tender mercies.
