Lord of the rings - Spiritual thought

One Saturday, Richard and I spent the weekend watching all of Lord of the Rings movies. I never realized the deep meaning of one scene in the movie, but as I was watching it, a spiritual thought came to my mind. It is the part where Samwise 'Sam' Gamgee and Frodo are approaching Mount Doom and both fall from exhaustion. Sam looks at Frodo and then looks at where they’re going and sees that they don't have far to go. He states "I know that I can't take the ring for you because that is yours to bear but I can carry you." When I heard this, I couldn't help but think about how that relates to our lives and how Sam is heavenly father or a friend. When we have a trial, no one can bear it for us because that is our trial that we must get through but our friends and heavenly father are like Sam who can help us by carrying us through our trials. I am so grateful that as I get older and try to become more spiritually minded, the more it reminds me how much heavenly father loves us and cares for us and that we are not alone no matter how alone a person may feel at times.
