Tender Mercies

We recently started reading the Book of Mormon again as a family.  In the past we have just read with the kids from the children's versions of the scriptures (the one with pictures and easier words).  Now that Princess is reading, I thought it would be a good idea to start reading the real thing.  The other night we were reading in Nephi about the tender mercies of the Lord.  Today I would be remiss if I didn't express gratitude and share a small and simple tender mercy that the Lord has given to me.

Jacob sucked today.  There was still some chomping motions, but he actually started to suck with his tongue in the right place.  It's a small step, and not completely consistent but I will take it gratefully!  I've been praying and praying that we would be able to resolve whatever is wrong so we didn't have to take him to more doctors (speech therapy is considered optional on our insurance).

It's amazing how much an attitude can change when looking for those small and simple things.  The Lord is great and merciful and good.  What are some of the tender mercies you've been blessed with recently?
