Share the story that Mary Durham shared about a father out hiking with his daughters and trying to take a short cut home across a lake. Why did he share this story?
He and his father in law decided to swim across the lake. He was feeling like he was being sucked down into the water. Both his life and his daughter's life was in danger. His call for help couldn't be heard. Finally, he took his shoes off. His shoes were what was weighing him down. He could then swim to safety. The gift of the Holy Ghost can help us to lighten our load and can help the children to swim on their own.
