7 Tender Mercies

It's interesting that my last post was about tender mercies because that's what I've been thinking about all day today. Specifically, seven stand out in my mind from today:

1. Time before I went to class.
2. A roommate encouraging me to go to class.
3. Text from a friend.
4. Short work day.
5. Talk with my religion teacher/stake president.
6. The musical number at devotional - "Consider the Lilies."
7. A friend inviting me to go to the temple with her.

If we just look for Him, we will see Heavenly Father in every facet of our lives every day. :)

Matthew 6:28, 31-34:
"...Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow...

"...for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself..."

Quote for the day:
