#15 On Being Prepared

LDSW #15


My son, Mike, took his family to a snow resort in Northern Arizona a couple of years ago, where they were racing innertubes on an icy slope. It was crowded. A girl had smashed into a tree and broken her leg and was in a lot of pain. Some people were trying to get her down the slope on a makeshift sled when a man’s voice called out, “Is there anyone here who can give an LDS priesthood blessing?” Mike raised his hand and said, “I can.” The man asked, "Are you worthy?"  Mike was. He had a vial with consecrated oil with him, and the two men administered a blessing to the man’s daughter.  Since then, he always brings his oil with him wherever he travels.
