Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 24:13
"Require not miracles, except I shall command you, except casting out devils, healing the sick, and against poisonous serpents, and against deadly poisons;
And these things ye shall not do, except it be required of you by them who desire it, that the scriptures might be fulfilled; for ye shall do according to that which is written."

What stood out to me was "require not miracles". That's probably because the past two days I have been sick. Wasn't sure what I was coming down with until yesterday. I realized I was feeling pleurisy spots on my lungs. I've had it in the past and its just miserable. I was just figuring this was going to be a long ride. My husband was probably more concerned than I was and offered to give me a blessing if I wanted one. The thought hadn't even entered my mind until then. Yes, a blessing would be nice. I have to say I wasn't expecting a miracle and probably not even relief. I just wanted to be strong enough to get through this new trial. I can do that when I rely on the Lord. The blessing was sweet and comforting and I was blessed to be healed. I knew I would be when the time was right, even if I had to go through this pain. I decided to go to bed early and left to get ready for bed. I'm not sure how long after the blessing it was, less than an hour? I realized that overwhelming exhaustion was lifting. It had been such a profound exhaustion earlier I actually felt like I was going to pass out. My headache was lifting. By the time I crawled into bed I was breathing without the pleurisy pain. I was feeling better. I went to bed and when I got up this morning I still felt better. I have not felt this well in a while. It is a curious thing waiting on the will of the Lord and how and when he wishes to bless and heal us.
