Signs Heavenly Father Loves You

I went to the Temple today and a few things happened that really strengthened my testimony of Heavenly Father's love and awareness of me individually. I would like this thread to be a place where we can share experiences that show us that Heavenly Father is aware of us as individuals. Let me start with my experiences of today...

I have be contemplating what to do about my house. A friend who is also a realtor was meeting with someone regarding this issue for me. The meeting was yesterday. I had fasted, and was worried when I hadn't heard from him that things hadn't gone well. So, today was a Stake Temple day. I had planned to go, but then when I awoke, I kind of hemmed and hawed about it. Eventually, I did leave. I had hoped to make the 10:00 session. I was driving there and it was going to be very close if I would make it or not. Well, I have driven this route many times before, but I ended up taking a wrong turn, just the same...this meant no way I would make the 10:00 session. I was disappointed, but continued on.

As I was entering the Temple at 10:05, out the door comes the person who had met to discuss my situation. I believe the Lord delayed me so that I would meet him coming out of the Temple. The news was good and I also believe the Lord wanted me to receive that knowledge at the Temple.

Now, that isn't all that happened. My other experience wasn't quite as grandiose, perhaps,but I think it was just as special. Instead of a session, I chose to do initiatories. The last name I did was Hannah Davis Tuttle from Portsmouth, NH. I was born and raised in Portsmouth, NH. I lived in a small town just outside of Portsmouth called Greenland. If you live in Greenland, you are born in Portsmouth, go to school and Portsmouth and conduct all business in Portsmouth. Greenland is just a bedroom community of Portsmouth. Anyway, I lived on Tuttle Lane. Tuttle Lane is named that because the family that owned all the land that became the house lots on Tuttle Lane was named...Tuttle. So, I grew up on the same land that this woman, or her inlaws if not her, most likely also lived upon! She was born around 1760!!!

I can't believe my being at the Temple today and/or my decision to do initiatories was all coincidence.

I know I am not the only one who has such experiences. Each time something like this happens in my life, it is a reminder that the Lord is aware of me on an individual, very personal level. Has anyone else experienced such things that they would be willing to share?

You Loves Father Heavenly Signs

There have been a number of times, most of them sacred, but what simply stands out to me is when I see someone do a simple act of kindness, it lets me know there is a God and that love still abides in this world. When that kindness is done to me I feel more that God is doing it through that person so as to reach me more than the person may think as they act as a tool. Sometimes I look at nature and science and think... this all proves there is a God and that He has provided this for me.

I have had similar experiences to both of you. I am the only member of my family, converting to the church at 17 years old. I have done quite a bit of geneology for my family, including my brother, 2 grand fathers, and grandmother. The experiences I have had doing this work has strengthened my testimony so much. I too have had experiences in the temple that could not have been coincidence, and it amazes me that my Heavenly Father is with me right there, active in MY life, aware of everything that is going on, wanting me to feel of His love and the truthfulness of the gospel and His work on earth. I have also felt testimony of my Father's love and concern through the love and kindness of others. We are so lucky to know the things we know and to have the blessings, which I feel are choice, that have been bestowed upon us. We are very blessed indeed. Thanks for letting me share.
