We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).

Jami's Shower

Shiloh's younger brother Stance got married the end of September but before I can blog about the wedding I have to blog about the shower.

The S* girls threw our new sister-in-law to be a tea party bridal shower.

Only we didn't serve tea. Because who really wants tea at a party?

If I do say so myself the decorations and the food were awesome.

Lunch: chicken salad sandwiches, wraps, ribbon sandwiches and fruit

Dessert: cheesecake, brownies, lemon bars and cake

For those of you that know Stance I thought you would enjoy enjoy this one.
I left my camera on the table unattended and this is what I found on it later.
