A day of little miracles.

I share with you something I wrote on the Stucki Blog tonight. Prayers are being answered.

I have a different perspective on life since January 15th and it is for the better. I love all of you.

I hope you don't mind that I share this on our Blog.

Little miracles are happening. We just need to recognize them and share them. As most of you know, Southwest Airlines has lowered their fares for three days to 50% of the original price to Seattle. This is a great blessing. We can book flights for those who can go help at Laurie and Gary's for half the price clear up until May.

As we knelt down to pray tonight and read scriptures, I told the kids that I was just going to open the scriptures and see what the Lord had to tell us tonight. I share with you the verses of Moroni 7 where the book opened. I can only say that I love these scriptures and have a warm feeling in my heart and a renewed strength that we are being watched over.

Moroni 7: 25 -33 "25 Wherefore, by the ministering of aangels, and by every word which proceeded forth out of the mouth of God, men began to exercise faith in Christ; and thus by faith, they did lay hold upon every good thing; and thus it was until the coming of Christ.26 And after that he came men also were asaved by faith in his name; and by faith, they become the bsons of God. And as surely as Christ liveth he spake these words unto our fathers, saying: cWhatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in faith believing that ye shall receive, behold, it shall be done unto you.27 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, have amiracles ceased because Christ hath ascended into heaven, and hath sat down on the right hand of God, to bclaim of the Father his rights of mercy which he hath upon the children of men?28 For he hath answered the ends of the law, and he claimeth all those who have faith in him; and they who have faith in him will acleave unto every good thing; wherefore he badvocateth the cause of the children of men; and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens.29 And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have aangels ceased to minister unto the children of men.30 For behold, they are subject unto him, to minister according to the word of his command, showing themselves unto them of strong faith and a firm mind in every form of agodliness.31 And the office of their ministry is to call men unto repentance, and to fulfil and to do the work of the covenants of the Father, which he hath made unto the children of men, to prepare the way among the children of men, by declaring the word of Christ unto the achosen vessels of the Lord, that they may bear testimony of him.32 And by so doing, the Lord God prepareth the way that the aresidue of men may have bfaith in Christ, that the Holy Ghost may have place in their hearts, according to the power thereof; and after this manner bringeth to pass the Father, the covenants which he hath made unto the children of men.33 And Christ hath said: aIf ye will have bfaith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is cexpedient in me." Gary and Laurie, we love you and your family and pray for these miracles that have not ceased even though Christ has ascended to his Father. We need to continue to write down the little things that are happening. I understand that the Relief Society of the Lacey first ward brought over a nice dinner tonight for the Clark's. May our hearts be strengthened and our faith increased as we recognize these blessings that are being sent our way. I think the biggest blessing is to have a doctor that is acting quickly to administering the treatment that will start to eradicate the cancer from Laurie. Good luck the next few days as Laurie undergoes treatment.Our prayers are with you!Love, Bryan and Michele
