          After the morning routine I sat down at the computer to start studying and realized my “piano” glasses were missing.  They are perfect for all my computer work; I have to have them to read the ordinance cards on the wall in a particular place in the temple where I spend a lot of time; and of course, they are critical for reading music at the piano.  The apartment search was fruitless and all the scenarios of how I was going to function without these glasses began swimming in my head.  

          The temple was the only place they could have been, so we prayed, dressed appropriately, and headed there hoping someone had found them and left them at the lost and found.  My locker is in the baptistry where the youth dress and there were three buses that brought kids for baptisms early this morning.  The bedlam that prevails in that small locker-room left little comfort that the glasses would survive the press of kids changing clothes. 

          While I checked through the locker room and my locker, Glade went to the office.  When I returned to the front desk, there he was—standing with my glasses in hand saying that someone had found them and turned them in to the office.  You can imagine the great wave of relief I felt and extreme gratitude for yet another tender mercy.

          It was another beautiful day in the temple.
