Oh, is it four-wheel
drive all the time? No. I have to lock in
the front hubs first. Hey, did you check the weather? Honey, it's going to be fine. I didn't get this truck for you
just to sit here and look good.
Oh, so it's my truck now? OK, I want to test it out.
Shiloh!
Come on!
Let's go, boy!
Yeah, you got 4-wheel
drive too, don't you?
It's going to be fine.
We need firewood. I'm going to test out the truck. I'll be back before sunset. Lucky for you, I
made you a sandwich. Go get your firewood.
Go on.
We're getting close.
Yeah, you remember this?
Hey, this is it.
Shiloh, what's happened?
You've got to be kidding me.
We are not stuck.
All right, let's try this again.
Come on.
Dear Heavenly
Father, I need help. Please send somebody who
can help me get out of here. In Jesus's name. Amen.
Let's go, Shiloh. I need you on the road so
they'll know we're here. Come on, let's go.
I'm going to go get the wood. Stay.
Good boy.
You did great
Did you see any cars?
No?
Ah, good boy.
Nobody came.
Heavenly Father, I've done
everything I know to do.
I thought You'd send somebody.
Please just help us get home.
Come on, please.
Please, come on.
Come on, move! Move!
Thank You.
It was the load of wood that
provided the traction necessary - - for him to get out of the
snow. So he could get back on the road,
and move forward.
Sometimes we mistakenly
may believe that happiness - - is the absence of a load. But bearing a load is a
necessary and essential part - - of the plan of happiness.
Each of us also carries a load. Our individual load is comprised
of demands and opportunities. Is the load I am
carrying producing - - the spiritual traction that
will enable me to press forward - - with faith in Christ on
the strait and narrow path?
Is the load I am
carrying creating - - enough spiritual traction
so I can return to our heavenly Father?
As we are yoked with Him
through sacred covenants - - and receive the enabling power
of His Atonement in our lives, We will be blessed with
spiritual traction.
