Saturday Visit

 Susan's invitation to her home was because Michael was going through the temple for his endowment and the family was invited to come afterwards to visit and for a meal. Another one of those family building blocks. Relationships flourish in personal contacts, chats, visits, and doing things together. The Lore's definitely get together for visits often.

We wish Michael all the best.

On a tender mercy side note in the family: Susan and I were talking and I noted that Susie was a little stressed and tired. She is a member of the committee for the Widow and Widowers that is hosting a meet and greet with hundreds of people. There are a lot of details and not enough hands to do the work. Several people have told her to drop the committee and have other people do it. But others are not stepping up and Susan feels that someone was there for her and these new widows and widowers need someone for them.

I told her she ought to get a blessing, and she said she had already thought of that, but it is difficult to get a blessing from home teachers and she hates to ask family too often. Then Jim Godwin called up the next day and asked how she was doing and wanted to know if she needed a blessing. God's tender mercies being fulfilled by one his servants.

Laura's life is being blessed with little tender mercies of love and comfort from lots of different people just like this. I think I have come to depend on those little mercies from God.
