I, too, am so grateful for the use of this phrase. It is helping us become more aware of these frequent blessings from our Heavenly Father. That is a good thing! Thanks for sharing!!!!

My sweet new baby slept for 5 hours last night. In a row. I feel great. And my wonderful friend came over this morning and kidnapped my other three. So right now, my house is quiet and I am all alone in it with Miscellany and we have all day.

Tender mercies, indeed.

This will be vague, but hope it makes sense. I have been really frustrated about something in my calling. Finally, I came to terms with my failed attempts and "let it go," and then the Lord showed me he could make it happen anyway in ways I least expected. It was a miracle, and evidence that God was totally aware.

Hey Lara,

It really is a small world. (I know–that post happened a while ago.) Cary is putting in his job applications right now. I was looking over his should as he read one of the schools' websites. He told me where the school was, and I said "I think Joel and Lara live somewhere around there." I checked back on your blog, and found that it is the very same school!

He is putting in a bunch of applications, and we really have no idea where we'll end up, but it was still pretty cool.

I guess that there's a small chance that our girls really will be friends with Sophia, but not until next fall.

You are so motivated! I'm impressed.

Tender mercies – getting to sleep lots because that's the only time I don't feel sick. I'm having one of those days where this is the only one I can come up with, even though I know I'm blessed. I'll have to think a little harder…

Tender Mercies everywhere!! It's amazing how watched and cared for we are, when we actually take a minute to appreciate it!

My tender mercy was a pair of sisters at last night's Relief Society meeting who could tell I was on the verge of losing it and sucked me into the fun anyway. And I got hugs.

It is true, tender mercies are only mentioned a few times in the scriptures, yet now it really is a part of our every day speech.

What a blessing for you to have the time you needed! And kudos to you for getting your bathroom painted!

I decided I am taking today off. I am going to not worry about cooking or cleaning and just take it easy. the fact that my mind is letting me do this is in and of itself a tender mercy. Normally I stress too much about the little things, but I am okay with it today. What a glorious tender mercy!

This sweet post. No school tomorrow. Able to sleep in and have a pajama day in the middle of the miraculous week. Children who still love me despite me being a time hog & pest. And cold enough weather to wear all the coats-sweaters-scarves-boots we've invested $$ in year after year.
