Bearing testimony

Today's post is short, but I want to share what happened at work last night.

I was caring for a patient who had had a really bad day, therapy had exhausted her, and she was crying when I came in. I held her hand, told her it was okay, sat with her a while, and set some music on to play to help her relax. She called me in later, and said "I need three things: put some cream on my leg, read me this sentence (she handed me the Ensign) ...." and then she stopped. I read her the sentence she wanted, grabbed my gloves, and started to put the cream on her leg. Then she leaned over and said "and third, I want to bear you my testimony."

She bore the sweetest testimony, and said things I really needed to hear, it was specific things I had been worried about, and she mentioned them in her testimony. It was the last thing I had expected to hear when I answered her call light, but it meant the world to me. I had also been having a rough shift, it had been pretty bad, and to be told those things was perfect timing, not only for what I was told but when it came as well.

I know Heavenly Father looks out for us, and puts in our path those we need most to answer our prayers and to help us keep going.
