With the ongoing mine disaster here in Utah and the earthquake in Peru, I am jolted into a renewed sense of concern for those involved in these tragedies and others around the world. Modern communications allow us to delve into these types of situations vicariously and immediately & I am left with deep sadness and a wish that I could make a difference for those in need. I am grateful for prayer and for the planning and preparation of our church welfare and humanitarian departments which are providing aid and comfort to the victims and their families in both situations. I am always confident that my contributions are useful even when they represent the limit of my involvment in these difficult situations.
In the hope department, my prayers today have also included my friend, Tara, who is at the hospital today giving birth to twins conceived after a period of infertility and medical intervention. I will be thrilled to meet the babies and enjoy the aura of two spirits so recently come from Heavenly Father and to witness the joy of this new little family.
