A couple of years ago, I had this feeling that I should go buy a particular CD for my friend Jackie. The prompting came as I was driving to work and the store wasn't open yet so I decided to go after work. I bought the CD but didn't get over to give it to her that day. The next day was my birthday. My family and I celebrated and it was a busy and happy day. But then I felt strongly that I should take the CD down to her. So I did. She was okay, but her aunt was in the hospital and it had been a hard day. Did the CD make everything better or solve her aunt's health issues? Definitely not. But hopefully it brought her a little cheer to know she was loved and thought of. AND it helped me recognize that even though I didn't know what was going on, Heavenly Father knew what she was experiencing and allowed me to play a tiny role in helping her to feel better and know He was mindful of her. I've had this experience enough times to know that even when I don't find out why I receive a particular prompting, it's a good idea to act. I'm really trying to consistently do that.
LESSONS LEARNED: Act on promptings.
Heavenly Father often shows His love and concern through others.
Even when I don't know what someone else is experiencing, Heavenly Father does.
