Testimony meeting today was perfect for the Sunday before Mother's Day. It helped that there were two babies blessed. Both moms and dads bore testimony, and one grandpa. One of the moms spoke about being away from family. Her husband's family was there in force, but she only had a brother and a cousin. She was counting on a good turn-out from the ward which she counted as her family. I also love those in our ward family. We share, and support, and strengthen each other.
Another new mom, who gave birth to a 1 pound 2 ounce baby in January shared her testimony also. A week ago was the first time they were able to hold their little girl wrapped in a blanket. They have been on such a difficult path and they have a long way to go. I read the blog that they keep updating for their daughter, and they've met this trial with such faith and strength. They continually speak of gratitude. With prayer, fasting, priesthood blessings, and support from family and friends, they are doing a remarkable job. They'll be spiritual giants when they come out of this.
A grandmother spoke of holding a grandson in the hospital, waiting for a kidney transplant. With just a week to go, another family in grief donated a kidney. The grandson is now 16, driving, and very much alive. Now another grandson is awaiting surgery for a very rare congenital heart problem. Only a few are capable of performing the surgery. This grandmother is so full of faith. She testified that whatever happens, this is God's plan, and it will be the right thing.
Testimony meeting this week was full of wisdom and love. The Spirit was strong and sweet.
