Promised Blessings

“While it may be true in some instances that our promised blessings
will be fulfilled only in the eternities, it is also true that as we
search, pray, and believe, we will often recognize things working together
for our good in this life.”

(Susan W. Tanner, “All Things Shall Work Together for Your Good,” Ensign, May 2004, 105)

Another Kidney Stone???

They fool me every time! I get a pain I have “never felt  before” along with a fever and goose bumps. Then something happens to make me realize it is yet another #$!#*!!!!! kidney stone.

I have been EXTREMELY nauseous. The pain comes and goes and I keep sweating profusely. I told Rhett I needed a blessing, so he told the guys from my ward who went out visiting. I enjoyed the visit very, very much and got the much needed blessing.

When I woke up this morning, the pain came back even worse. I was praying for God to help me out and give me some relief, when like the snapping of a finger, the pain let go! It was to the point I was going to call someone for a ride to the ER. The pain almost vanished and it was as if I could feel white light flowing through me. What a miracle!

I keep feeling the white light zipping around me. Now it’s only teeny, tiny pain that is moving like a kidney stone on the way out. Priesthood Blessings through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are amazing! Thank you, God, for sending relief from that agonizing pain. I am extremely grateful :-)
