A Special Fast for Mom

September 30, 2011


First thing this morning, I went to Logan to attend the Temple.  Mom's health and suffering have been on my mind unceasingly.  I wanted to be as close to the spirit as I possibly could, and I knew that it would be in the Lord's house.... a sacred house where I could petition the Lord on mom's behalf.  I started a fast last night, along with my brothers and sisters. Through combined faith, prayer, and fasting, I knew Father In Heaven would hear and answer our's and our mother's prayers.  I had faith that He would ease my mother's suffering and pain.  I knew He loved her.  I trusted that He had a plan for her and that everything would be all right.  

When my brothers and sisters and I meet on Monday for mom's long term health care plan, I have faith that we, along with mom's health care providers and the doctor, will receive correct inspiration and guidance in her behalf.  Mom has endured so much for so long and has waited patiently on the Lord.  She has been faithful until the end. Oh, how I love her with all my heart!
