THe Hand of the Lord

Every now and again, it is apparent that the Lord has a hand in your life. We should this every day. There are miracles that happen in our lives daily and life lessons that happen that witness these miracles to us. And then there are the days, when out of the blue, comes an unexpected, very much needed, MIRACLE.
17 years ago, when Kris and I were first married, I worked for a preparedness company. I did out of state sales and one of my states was Colorado. I had a group representative there named Terri. Terri and I hit it off instantaneously! We were connected on much more than a business level. I had found one of my lost "sisters" from the pre existance. (now she wasnt lost as far as not having the gospel..just lost in that I had not reunited with her here on earth until that point)
I remember calling her about 6 months after we had met, I was going to tell her that I had just found out that I was expecting Nate. She called me at work first and said "I had a dream about you last night. You were expecting a baby" How cool is that. And we have just been in and out of each others lives ever since. When we are in...it is just like no time has ever passed. Kris and I were able to see her husband baptised (in fact, Kris baptized him) We saw them sealed in the temple and have watched her children grow. We have been through good and bad together and have cried and laughed together for the past 17 years.
Last week, I began to think about my dear sweet Terri and wonder how she was, for it had been quite a while since we had talked. All of the email addresses I had for her, kept bouncing back to me and I was concerned that I would not be able to find her. I was just about to mail her a letter, when today...low and behold, in my email was a letter from Terri. She has searched online for me and found my blog....what a blessing!
So happy am I for this opportunity the Lord has given us to reunite again and continue to weave more threads into each others life tapestries!
Welcome back my sweet sister Terri! Welcome back and welcome home to my heart!
I love you!
May you each take the time to find those miracles that are happening around you in your life and give thanks unto God for them!
