A Mini Christmas Miracle

At BYU there's an Italian club, and every semester they put together a little Italian choir to do Christmas and Easter concerts. I thought it would be kind of fun to try it out, so for the last few months I've been participating in that and it's been a lot of fun :) However, our Christmas concert was on Monday, and these past couple weeks I've been a bit sick. It was just a cold, so nothing too crazy, but it was bad enough that I could barely talk most days, not to mention the constant coughing. It was  annoying.

So on Sunday night, I was worrying about how I was going to sing for this concert when my voice was barely there and I couldn't make it through two sentences without going into a coughing fit.I'd put a lot of time and practice into learning these Christmas songs in Italian, and I was super bummed that I might not be able to sing for this concert.

But then Monday morning I woke up and Tada! I felt completely fine. My throat didn't hurt, I could talk, my coughing fits were gone. That night I was able to sing perfectly normally and I enjoyed the concert a ton! :) I was really happy that I'd decided to take part in it.

And then Tuesday came and I was back to being as sick as I was on Sunday.

It was a mini Christmas miracle guys--or, as many people like to call it, a tender mercy. People don't just randomly stop being sick for a day. This was a little sign to me that I have a Heavenly Father who knows who I am and who loves me :) I know that he wants me (and every other person on the planet) to be happy and will help me achieve happiness throughout my life if I rely on him to help me through it. He cares about the little things that we each care about, like being able to sing for a little concert. This was just one example of how I've seen his hand in my life, and I know there have been so many more "coincidences" that happened because of him.

I know sometimes I tend to overlook the little blessings from God that happen daily in my life, but I'm working on noticing them and thanking my Heavenly Father for them :) These little instances prove to me that God loves me more than I can ever imagine, and he loves each of you, too :) So keep an eye out for those tender mercies, and you'll find that you notice them more and more :)
