A
My husband and I recently went to Disney World with our children and grandchildren.Our grandchildren were excited about the attraction where they can drive the cars.Since our party was uneven in numbers and two people fit in each car，I sat out that one and headed down to take pictures of them.
As I waited for them to drive by，I noticed a car with a father and his son who looked to be about 7.They rolled down the hill，and then as they neared where I sat，the car shook a few times and then stopped.
The young driver looked frightened，“I can't do it.”
His father quietly said，“Yes，you can.”
“No.I can't！”
“Yes，you can.”
The little boy was almost in tears，“I CAN'T！”
With deep patience，the father said，“Son，you can do this.I'm going to help you.”
Then he talked him through starting the car.And moments later with the father helping his son，the two went smoothly on their way down the track.
The scene brought tears to my eyes because I couldn't imagine how many times my father had to do that with me.Every time things got hard or when I had failures along the way，I'd say，“I can't do it.” He'd reply，“You can.” Time and time again he patiently encouraged me on the journey.And just like that little boy's dad，my sweet father would say，“Michelle，you can do this.I'm going to help you.”
That's where the true strength comes in.I can't do things under my own power，but when my father comes beside me and provides wisdom (智慧) and strength，there's no way I can fail.
