The Winds Came!


(This event happened in August)
The Winds Came!

Thursday at the Lake, the winds came. In a few minutes, what started out as a brisk summer breeze, turned into a mean gusty wind. The water that was covered with ripples, now was an angry lake with white capping waves. The young women and leaders were caught off guard and soon were swept toward the rocks of the dam. There was no possible way to get to the dock or landing beach. The two rescue boats were helpless against the wind and found themselves against the rocks.
 
 
 

When all seemed hopeless, there was a solution. Elder Turner stood as a tall beacon on the shore, and waved the frantic girls who were struggling to stay off the rocks, into a safe haven in the grass by the tower. This is like a lesson of life. When those winds of adversity blow, and they will, there is always hope. Just look to the beacon on the shore. Head towards that safe haven and the arms of our Savior.
