Small Miracles

Cebu Temple Celestial room-- and it's even more beautiful in reality.

Yesterday I was assigned to the Celestial room.  There is always an attendant there, even when it is not in use.  It’s beautiful, peaceful, quiet—a little piece of heaven.  As I sat alone and prayed and read scriptures, I started to feel a tickle in my throat.  Finally a cough—and another one, and they got worse, until I was coughing every two or three minutes.  In that silent room, they echoed loudly!   When the patrons enter the Celestial room, they sit quietly, praying silently.  It’s very reverent and I was worried that my coughing would disturb someone’s communion with the Lord.  Quietly I prayed for the gift of relief from my coughing when the patrons entered.  Then I stood at my place by the door to welcome the patrons, and didn’t cough.  For thirty minutes, I didn’t cough once.  Then that small miracle was repeated again today.  I am so grateful for Heavenly Father’s love, shown through those small tender mercies.
