The Lord is ever mindful...

Today

I was made aware,

once again of

just how mindful the Lord is...

of our joys

of our tears

of our pain.

And prayers are answered

before we even utter the words.

Even before we know what to pray for.

Today

I was having a bad day.

No, not a bad day.

Just a bad moment.

I came home from helping set up for the reception.

And everything was falling apart.

I felt like crying

but instead just got mad at the things that were broken.

And then the doorbell rang.

A box was dropped off.

Flowers.

From somebody that I have never met...

at least not in real life.

I realized that because of modern technology

I have met, and been touched by

people that I may not ever meet

in real life.

But today I realized that somebody listened to

a prompting.

They probably didn't know why.

Or that their gift would come

at the most perfect time.

Flowers from a friend

that I have never met.

But I hope to.

A card that reminded me

that Heavenly Father has not forgotten me.

Who knows my dreams

Do we really understand what it means to act...

act when we feel like we should do something.

Do we understand that our actions

MATTER?

I hope I can be better.

I hope I can reach out even if I don't know why.

So Jamie...

THANK YOU!

Your act of compassion gave me reason to smile

through the tears, as I read your note.

You will likely never really understand what it meant

to me.

To my entire family...

thank you for sharing yourself

and your hope.

I hope that you see all of the ways

that the Lord is also mindful

of you!
