I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints



As Many of you know I joined the church almost nine years ago. I have times where I am so glad to be a member of our church. Times when my testimony of the truthfulness has been tested and passed! And times when I have been discouraged. But as I thought about the last two years (almost three since dad got sick on Valentines day three years ago). I am so glad I can say I know where my parents are. I know they are together I know they never spent a Valentines day without each other and that they are waiting for all of us and they are enjoying reunions with loved ones that have gone on before. I know my mom finally met my fathers beloved dad. I am thankful for this. I am also thankful for the little things that go unnoticed, random acts of kindness and love. Compassion and charity! Today I woke to a phone call that an elderly man had gone out last night and not returned home, by the time Bridget, Quinn, Jeff and I started in the search there were 100's if not 1000's already looking for him, many not from our congregation or our stake many who did not know this family. He was found in a town more then 30 minutes away in a field and he is home now with his wife of more then 65 years. What a tender mercy, what a miracle, because yes there are angels here on the earth today and yes there are still miracles that occur in our lives everyday!
