I wanted so badly to find a special baptism dress for Barbara. The only money I had to spend was a five dollar bill. Not knowing where to go or what I might find - I set off in faith hoping that I'd be able to find the perfect dress.
I drove to Ogden and started looking through the stores. I went across the street to a little store just north of the New Gate Mall and when I walked in there it was. Three dresses on a rack near the front door - one of which was the perfect size, and on sale for only five dollars.
It was white with a big full skirt - just what my little girl wanted. A skirt that she could dance in. It was a great blessing to me to find it at the very price that I could afford. I've always thought of it as a tender mercy.

I just got little chills reading this! The Lord's tender mercies is one of my favorite subjects to dwell on - and when you're dwelling on them, they are amazingly easy to find every day! Thanks for sharing that story, Aunt Bobby, and thanks for doing this great blog, Barbara. I love it!
ReplyDeleteTender mercies are our small miracles that testify Someone sees us and Someone cares. What a precious little story. Made me cry. Sometimes I think we look for big things and look beyond the mark and miss a lot.
ReplyDeleteThis is just a beautiful story of how Heavenly Father cares about the smallest details. I love it! Stopping by from MMB.
