I haven’t been feeling too well and ended up having some medical tests performed on Monday morning. I was told I needed to wait for 48 hours for the results. May I just say…it has been a long 48 hours. I want to find out the results but I am nervous all the same. I knew that I needed to go to work today and get my thoughts on something else.
This morning, as I was getting ready for work, I noticed that I had a letter from one of my former young women. She is currently serving a LDS mission in Thailand. I LOVE receiving letters and cards in the mail. I was excited that I would have something to read on my lunch break. As I continued to get ready, my thoughts kept going back to this letter. I felt strongly that I needed to read it. After a few minutes, I decided I had better take a moment or two and open the letter.
When I opened the letter, out fell a picture. Aw…it was awesome. It immediately brightened my day and brought a smile to my face. As I read the letter, my heart began to be filled so much peace. She was truly inspired with the words that she wrote. I know that I needed to read this letter today. I know that I needed to read it at the very moment. At the end of her letter she felt prompted to share a scripture with me. As I read the scripture, I felt the most amazing comfort.
"Wherefore be of good cheer and do not fear for I the Lord am with you and will stand by you.” D&C 68:6
It was the most incredible feeling to know how comforting one scripture can bring. I know that I needed to read and ponder it. It is so powerful. Thank you Sister Traci for listening to the promptings of the Spirit. I love you dearly!!! I am truly blessed to know you.
