17 Miracles 

   The movie “17 Miracles” has been out for over a year, but we watched it again tonight as a  family.

It is a great movie!

It is the story, or part of the story, of the Mormon handcart pioneers. In particular the Willie Handcart Company. The movie tells the story of Levi Savage, and other pioneers as they make their way across the plains in 1856 to the Salt Lake Valley. They have many hardships. Many of them die on the way. They almost don’t make it, but they were rescued by brave men who came for them from Salt Lake. The best part about the movie, and my favorite part, are the miracles. There are more than “17” miracles. We did a count during the movie, and had a discussion and the more we discussed it, the more miracles we came up with.

I love that God has a hand in our lives. He is totally aware of us and what we’re going through. Sometimes He allows us to go through trials to help us grow, and sometimes it is so others can grow, seeing the sacrifice that is made. I am sure many people are amazed and changed after hearing about what the pioneers went through.

I know I am.
