Tender Mercies

Do you ever have those moments where everything just "coincidently" works out in your favor.
You make it to to the gas station right as your gas light turns on.
You find your keys still in your door the next morning after you forgot them there the night before.
You were running five minutes late, and pass an accident that happened five minutes early.
Or tonights, decided to drive the husband's car to activities which just happened to have a key to the church on it.  And as I pulled up, all the youth were waiting outside because no other leader had a key.

I don't believe that these things "just happen" or are only a "coincidence."  Yes, I believe in coincidences, like when my cousin and I happen to wear pretty much the same outfit every time we are together.  It just happens. But some things don't "just happen."

There's something bigger out there, something divine. Heavenly Father is the divine reason for these "coincidences." But I like to think of them as His tender mercies. He's looking out for us, even if it's just a thought to take a different car to church. It's the tender mercies in life that help us see the bigger picture and there is some divine out there looking over us.

I'm grateful for this tender mercy that was a little reminder of the blessings I have in life.

How have you been blessed by tender mercies. I would love to hear from you.

This video says it all and so much more.
