Tender Mercy Tuesday

Heavenly Father blesses us in the sweetest ways.  And sometimes in such practical and mundane situations.

A couple of weeks ago I posted about the pillows we needed to buy for the incoming missionaries.  (We had purchase thirteen bags of two pillows each because we were expecting 25 missionaries. We we arrived at the storage garage we discovered that we actually had fourteen bags of pillows.  After pondering a moment we decided that rather than returning the extra pillows, we would hold them for the November incoming missionaries. I then went back to Costco and paid for the extra bag.)

Well,  in the middle of this week we received an email informing us that we were getting two  temporary "visa waiters" on Monday!  Visa waiters are missionaries who are going to foreign missions for whom the visas have not yet arrived.  It is expected that they will only be here for one transfer (a transfer is six weeks in length) but we shall see.  We have a visa waiter here now who has been here for four or maybe five transfers and who is hoping he gets to stay since he is loving teaching and bringing people unto Christ.

Anyway,  this morning in Sunday school we were studying the lesson in the Gospel Principles manual about The Holy Ghost. {If you want to read that lesson go to LDS.org then click on lessons, then Sunday school then Manuals then Gospel Principles then chapter 7.  I am unable to link to it here.} Right in the middle of the lesson the still small voice whispered to me that Heavenly Father had already known that we need fourteen bags of pillows to be ready for these new temporary sisters.

It is another of the many tender mercies he shows to us so often.  I love the feeling the Spirit brings.
