Do you remember the ride "Autopia" at Disneyland? As little kids, we were so excited to actually get to drive the car, control the steering, and push on the gas or the brake. We felt so grown up! Of course, there was a track there to keep all of us young and inexperienced drivers on course. It was a bit bumpy but oh, so fun!
In a class I attended recently, we talked about how life is a lot like this. We are all Heavenly Father's "inexperienced" children here on earth to learn and gain experience. Heavenly Father has provided the "track" to guide us where we need to go. He knows the amazing potential that we each have and how to get there. As long as we stay in the car and keep our foot on the gas, we will get there!
So how do we stay in the car? By doing our best to be obedient to the words of the prophets and living the gospel of Jesus Christ, by never giving up, by continuing to move forward despite discouragement or uncertainty, by doing our best to prepare ourselves to be able to serve Heavenly Father by serving the people around us. So get your engines ready, stay in your cars, and keep your hands on the wheel and your foot on the gas! It might be a bumpy ride at times, but Heavenly Father will not abandon us. And don't forget to laugh and have fun along the way! Make everywhere you are, the "Happiest Place on Earth."
Love it!
