Tender Mercies

I've had many experiences over the span of my life thus far (not going to mention how many years that is!) that have made me realize that my life of trials and triumphs include MANY tender mercies.  I am reminded often as I reflect back on life that I truly have been blessed!  The tender mercies that have come into my life have been a testimony building experience to me that my Heavenly Father KNOWS me, HE LOVES me, HE is my Heavenly Father!  My life has been charted in a way that as I look ahead, I don't know what is in store for me, but when I look back, I know I'm on a good path!

I'm reflecting back on many memories....I'm getting closer to the point of being with Jamy longer than I have lived in my parent's home.  I can't believe that I'm just a few years away from that point.  I'm blessed to have Jamy in my life and I am blessed to have great parents who "picked" me and who I "picked" to be my parents.  I'm grateful for the things that my parents have taught me and continue to teach me!  I'm grateful that I have their footsteps to follow in.  I hope that I am following them in the way that I can make them proud of me!

Jamy is just my amazing, and better, half!  He makes me want to be a better person - as a wife, a mother, a friend and more!  He is always supporting me in all the crazy things I get involved in by being my biggest cheerleader!  He lifts me up when I'm down and knows what is needed to get through another day!  I LOVE YOU MY ECP!

There are many subtle tender mercies that happen in life that sometimes, if we don't take time to sit down and reflect on them, they pass us by just like another day!  Take time to sit down and reflect on the good things going on in life....or they WILL pass you by!

Loving the life that I have and looking forward to the course I'm on for the future.....take time....to recognize the tender mercies in YOUR life!

  1. Sweet post, isn't it crazy how time flies? This summer Brian and I will have been together for longer than we weren't and it is wild to think about that!
