But then I got a message from my sweet friend, Laura, who I haven't seen in over a year. She was in town today and wanted to stop by. Made my day!! So fun to snack on pumpkin muffins and hear all of her latest stories. Laura, thanks for bringing some fun to our day!
(Good grief, Claire looks ginormous in this picture....STOP growing!!! And Laura looks like a model. As always.)
Then this evening, President Hutchison and Brother Wilkinson stopped by for a family visit. They filled us with hope and faith and confidence that we are leading these beautiful children back to their Celestial home. They reminded us that God knows our family. He is aware of our needs and our concerns. What a comforting thought!
As Nate is preparing to turn in his applications, it has brought some fears and doubts back to our minds as to what life will hold for us if he doesn't get accepted. I was very grateful for the reminder tonight that faith replaces fear. President Hutchison reminded us that the Proclamation to the Family says that fathers have a duty to provide for their families. And then in 1 Nephi, we are promised that God will never give us a commandment without preparing a way for us to accomplish it. God WILL prepare a way for Nate to take care of this family. I am so grateful for their visit. My faith has been strengthened, and I feel so much peace.
You know what? It actually wasn't a gray day at all.
