Oh boy lets talk again about TENDER MERCIES!
So ever since I started noticing and recognizing things as tender mercies... God has totally magnified that! Like Holy COW! So SUNFLOWERS. Every time I am needing a pick me up, there's a sunflower... just growing in the most random places... AND the other day we were visiting with someone and out of the blue she just GIVES me this PAINTING of SUNFLOWERS! Like wahhhhhhh?! It made me SO HAPPY! GOD IS SO GOOD! And when we give Him ways to bless us He will! Sunflowers are the most blatant way I can see His hand in my life now! Like if He needs to tell me something... BOOM sunflower! I am so grateful that I started a gratitude journal and started recognizing God's hand in my life because it truly has blessed me :)
A scripture that I really really like right now is Isaiah 49:16
"Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands..."
Whoa. Think about how often we use our hands and look at our hands and touch our hands! Our Savior thinks of us ALL THE TIME. What comfort that is! He engraved us into His hands!
Also think about our Heavenly FATHER: He is the BEST Father ever! Someone in church was talking about how "we are His work and His glory." (Moses 1:39) Think about that! We are His full time job! He doesn't go to work all day and then come home, maybe play with us for an hour and then watch TV and sleep... He LOVES us and we are His WORK and GLORY! We are EVERYTHING to Him! Think about what that will be like to be able to be that kind of parent in the eternities! Families are where it's ALL at!
You may be wondering why I entitled this email "God works in mysterious ways"... Well I have a funny story (and a video too lol)
SO. We went to this house to try to talk to this guy but no one seemed to be home so we started going to leave and there was a WILD TURKEY. So we started to slowly try to close the gate so it wouldn't attack us but it got through. (At this point I started taking the video because I wanted to document how I died by a turkey attack lol) but anyway it starts like cornering us! And wouldn't let us leave! Sister Penaflor ended up getting past him and he was cornering me and then! (drum roll...) the guy shows up! Because of that turkey, we got to talk to him! It was pretty scary though not gonna lie haha but God really does work in mysterious ways!
I love you all so much and I know God is at work in your lives! I have truly seen miracles on my mission in these people's lives! I know that God is so aware of us and that Jesus Christ, our older brother, has always got our backs!
I want to wish a happy late birthday to Mason! And Sister Muller! And Sister Livingstone! And a happy early birthday to Elder Muller! Love you guys!
Have a wonderful week! If you see a sunflower this week let me know! :) And find those ways that God speaks to you in your life! I love to hear how you are doing and the small miracles in your lives! Also THANK YOU for your prayers!
Love, Sister Freeman♡
