Worth It
As a kid and even as a teenager, whenever we went on hikes or vacations, I would hop out of the car and immediately hand my water bottle and anything else I had to my mom and say, "Here will you hold this?" I asked it as a question, but never really meant it that way. I just assumed she would carry all of my things for me. I remember her carrying these heavy bags everywhere we went because us kids couldn't be bothered to carry our own things. When I think about it now, I cringe thinking about the heavy packs of water, cameras, jackets, and souvenirs that she trekked with around Disneyland, numerous airports, and various other locations around the world. And I never once heard her complain. As my mother so selflessly did for my temporal (and often emotional) burdens, Jesus Christ invites us to come unto Him that are burdens may be made light. He is offering to carry what we feel too weak to carry. I have had experiences in my life when the Savior has answered my prayer
