He is mindful of us and is there to offer His help. It is such a profound blessing! Mary A, Exactly. Thanks for being a part of APoF! RoAnn, I didn't know how to end this piece, at first. Then that ending came to me--the idea of mentioning that it's all trials of all scopes that He cares about, and I am so glad that it resonated with you. <em>"be it a life-changing loss or a moment of minutia like a climb up a ladder"</em> I'll be praying for you, too. :) Michelle,

Mary A,
Exactly. Thanks for being a part of APoF!

RoAnn,
I didn’t know how to end this piece, at first. Then that ending came to me–the idea of mentioning that it’s all trials of all scopes that He cares about, and I am so glad that it resonated with you. “be it a life-changing loss or a moment of minutia like a climb up a ladder” I’ll be praying for you, too. :)

My sister has come from out of state, and we have been sorting through our deceased parents' files. In many ways, it is a wonderful opportunity to remember what choice lives our parents lived. But it has become increasing difficult, emotionally, to take on yet another box, and deal with the flood of memories their contents evoke. I have been praying to be guided in making the crucial decisions about what to keep and what to throw away. But now I see clearly that I also need to pray for strength to tackle one more box, knowing that I can be strengthened to handle the inevitable waves of emotion that will roll over me. Thanks for the reminder that we don't ever need to go it alone. I really needed to hear this, Naiah.

It helps me to be reminded that we can call on the Lord for help with anything at any time. Living close to the Lord can mean so much on so many levels. Thank you for sharing this, Naiah.

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I'm also reminded of Elder Maxwell's "God is in the details." Clearly He also provided the answer, the solution to the fear, at the precise moment you needed it. Isn't it amazing that He cares about the mundane of our lives, as well as the significantly spiritual? Wow. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
