Thank you so much for sharing your most agonizing, exhilarating and spiritually uplifting moments. We all are indeed going through difficult times and knowing that we are being watched over by loving heavenly parents is a much needed consolation. Heavenly Father has given us this time to reflect on our blessings and helped us delve deeper into our search for what we must do to prevail. THANK YOU.

May God be with you and heal you completely. Thank you for your spiritual faith that blesses all who hear the good news from you❤

Maurine...you are such an inspiration to us all. This article was beautiful and such a true testimony of the power our Heavenly Father can have in our lives if we just maintain a positive perspective and trust in him. I am so thankful that you are on the road to recovery and you will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

How grateful we are to a most loving Heavenly Father and his Son, Jesus Christ, who loves us and knows us by name. They know our problems and they know our happy times. They are cheering us on just like our family on the other side of the veil. I feel their love and devotion as days and weeks pass through this time of stress and upheavals in our society. We are loved and cared for by the Almighty Creator. Thank you for your beautiful story. It helps strengthen all of us in this time of need.

These articles on Meridian are the spiritual energy drink I consume daily. As a great supplement to the scriptures, stories and articles like this one provide tangible and real examples of the most valuable aspects of mortal existence. Thanks for being so down-to-earth while sharing heavenly experiences.

Onlistening toaweekly podcast by the Procter’s as we always do, I was so sad to hear of Maurines accident and felt a great sense of loss that she was not able to be in that podcast. Our prayers and thoughts were with her. Sohappy to hear her voice the next week. So thankful for these wonderful podcasts each week. We learn and feel so much.

Great telling of a real calm and assurance. I had one a bit similar when I was diagnosed with melanoma cancer a couple of years ago. It is almost heard to explain. The calming seems so unnatural, yet it can not be denied by the person feeling the Holy Spirit saying it is going to be okay.
Thanks so much for telling your story.

Dear Maurine,
Very sad to read the news about your accident. But you did turn "irritation into a pearl" that will translate into thousands of lives - including mine - being blessed through your testimony and good example. We will all pray for your recovery and resuming your wonderfully productive life.

This is such a beautiful article. Thank you for sharing. Our family has been through some huge medical challenges lately too. I have been listening to the new church youth music when we drive to our medical appointments and I go to work. It is helping me keep the perspective you talked about. There are few quiet moments in our chaotic family life ! I am so thankful for the resources of the church to lift us up. I hope your recovery goes well.

Thank you for this. Sometimes we need someone else to articulate what we too are experiencing.
I sought a priesthood blessing following some particularly bad news. While the healing I so desired was not promised, I have felt a peace much greater than I have felt in years. And that has been so important at this time.
I had struggled following April conference to hear as we had been counseled. I could not hear because I was so conflicted. And while I still feel no direction from God, I feel able to move forward again. I too have heard Him but I needed your story to recognize that fact.
