The Kite Of Life

Monday is our preparation day. That is the day we get things done like laundry, cleaning, etc. Afterwards we all went and played basketball. Elder Cabral getting bored of being schooled in basketball decides to fly a kite. But when he had it all unraveled and let it go, it didn't fly. Scratching his head he figured he needed some wind. Without wind the kite won't go anywhere!

This is relative to our lives. Without adversity we can't go anywhere. Lehi explains this while speaking to his son Jacob...

Nevertheless, Jacob, my first-born in the wilderness, thou knowest the greatness of God; and he shall consecrate thine afflictions for thy gain.

With those adversities in life God can help us reach our full potential. It is hard. Never said it would be easy. Satan is always unleashing his temptations on us. He makes us think that things aren't possible. With God all things are possible.

As we rely on Christ the rock of our salvation. We can fly high!
