Help!


So a few weeks ago when I was in Washington my friend and I found some baby birds. Not knowing what kind of birds had fallen out of the nest we thought we would try to feed them and keep them alive as long as possible.

We chopped up some worms and fed them every few hours. We found an empty nest so that we could put all 3 of them together so that they could share body heat. We put them in a new tree away from an area were we thought there might be predators.

I share this story with you in relation to the last post I shared. In Alma 7:11-13 the Savior went through it all so that he would know how to succor us. There probably was not a chance of us keeping the little birds alive because we did not know what kind of bird they were, what they had been through, or how to help them. Unlike the birds we know we are in the image of God, he knows what we are going through, and because of what He has gone through he knows how to help us. Isn't it great to have that knowledge?!
