"At least We Are On The Ark"

Have you ever really thought about what it was like for Noah to collect all the animals?

Two of each kind?!!

It was hard enough to catch Precious! 

Just one little goat!!

I couldn't imagine all the trouble Noah went through!

He had the Lord on his side,

So he had a lot of help!

Take another moment..

Reflect on what the conditions would have been like on the Ark..

Imagine how tightly packed it would have been?

How about the noise?

What do you think it would have smelled like?!

^ I have owned

my share of pets

back home. I am sure

my mom would agree..

They don't always

smell the best!

So..!

Why did they do it??!

Why did Noah and his family go through with all of that?

Can you imagine all of the trials, troubles, and difficulties they would have encountered?!

I have only named a few of the things that first came to my mind.

I am sure there are MANY more!

They did it because..

They were RIGHTEOUS!

They had faith.

Faith that led to action.

They knew that it was what God had told Noah.

They knew that everything would work out as long as they followed the commandments!

It may have not been what they expected,

But it was what God needed them to do!

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall cprepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

-1 Nephi 3:7

At the end of the day,
At least we can say,
It may be have been tough..
But at least we know:

-Jesus is the Christ
-God loves us
-The Gospel is true

And..
YES!
We are on the Ark!
