We believe that Life's Path is always lined with Tender Mercies. That the goodness of God can be found in any trial or experience. Recognizing the 'Hand of God' in our individual lives is something we have tried to be very mindful of over the years. His tender mercies have been apparent through all the major trials of our lives, but we have seen 'Tender Mercies Abound' in our family since Kayla has been away serving a full time mission.
This tender mercy has brought tears of gratitude and great happiness to our family.
Our fiend Matt let us know a few weeks ago that he was traveling to Cebu in early December and would be happy to take a package to the Mission Home there for Kayla. Not only did he make it to Cebu and the Mission Home, he was able to attend church in the ward Sister Miller & Sister Zoletta are serving in and got to give her the package in person.
We had not told Kay, Matt wold be traveling near her area, so I'm sure this was a HUGE surprise.
What a tender mercy that she is living right in Cebu at a time when a friend would be visiting Cebu. What a tender mercy that he found her and got to see her serving in her ward.
Here's what Matt shared with us:
"She appears so happy. Such a huge smile! Wish you could see all the little girls (at least a dozen) go out of their way to greet her before church - they all light up with the biggest smile when they see Sister Miller"
Such a blessing to hear from someone who has seen her and been with her. Our family has been so very blessed during Kayla's mission. We have tried to record all of the tender mercies we have experienced, but it has been hard to remember to record all of them. We recognize the Lord in the details of our lives and thank him for His endless mercy and unconditional love.
