And sorry to post twice, but I felt like I should share this. After my family pulled away tonight, my Mom called and asked if I had seen Devin's whistle. He has lost it at some point at the hospital. It was not a big thing, but I knew it was important to him. I looked upstairs in the waiting room, checked the cafeteria, scoured the area we had sat for lunch and the grass they played in, checked the halls, asked Information, searched the bathrooms and finally found it in the first waiting room. As I was searching, I prayed that I would find it for him. I had the thought as I was frantically searching, this whistle is not a big thing, but it is important to me because it is important to my son. I felt that Heavenly Father feels the same way about our prayers. The things we pray about may not always be big or important things, but because they are important to us, they are important to our God. I felt such a drive to find that little whistle, partially because I so want Heavenly Father to answer my prayers, too, and find my whistle. I know he answers our prayers. I was grateful for this reminder tonight.

Marissa Jensen Kaplan Sometimes, in dark hours, The Lord will send us tender mercies to ease our burdens and remind us that he is mindful of us and our pain. He can't and won't take away all of our trials. But he may inspire one of his children to reach out, who may be in a position to share the load and ease other burdens, which will help lift us up and give us renewed strength to continue to work through our trials.
