These are a few things I wrote down in my journal of God’s tender mercies during the past week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was invited to an Alzheimer’s conference last summer to support a friend who was on a panel, and I came home with lots of good information.

My friend’s physician had given her nothing but a diagnosis, not even a pamphlet. It is a tender mercy that I was prepared to comfort a friend with this information. We read the words together on her couch, and she felt understood, validated in her symptoms, and empowered to move forward. It was a precious experience to see how God orchestrated this moment long before her diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
