Heavenly Father's Tender Mercies

We left Houston on Tuesday morning in great haste, took care of our last-minute errands and then headed on the trail to St. George, UT.  But when we got to Wichita Falls, where we spent the night, I could not find my pill minder.  In it were all of my medicines dosed out until Sunday morning.  We unloaded the car, looked through each suitcase, bag and every other container we are using to no avail.

Last night in my prayer I asked Heavenly Father's help in finding my pill minder.  I cannot afford to lose any of my meds because some of them are very expensive and are only partially covered by insurance.  I got an immediate response: "garbage can". I assumed He ment the waste baskets we are using for small stuff.  So, this morning I went through them again.  Nothing.  I was pretty disappointed,  but I examined everything else just in casr.  The thought came to me that it had fallen into the garbage sack that we threw in the dumpster just as we left our apartment yesterday morning.  

This afternoon Sister Black read a post written by our Stake President about gratitude.  He said, " make a gratitude journal and each day write  down 3 things for which you are grateful for that day."

I am grateful for personal revelation.  I found my pill minder in the car's consol right next to the garbage container we use while traveling.  I don't remember putting it there., but I am grateful for the prompting even if I didn't understand it at the time.

I am grateful for the assistance of wonderful Senior Missionaries who were willing to go to that apartment to look for my pill minder even though it didn't turn out to be necessary. 

I am grateful for safe travels in our adventures of going "home".
