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.
