The Shiny Bicycle

So on my last birthday my mom and dad gave me a shiny chrome bike. It was the coolest thing I've ever seen. I could do all kinds of tricks, and I was so much faster than everyone else. But then, my friend Evan got a red bike. It was fast too. Then everyone got a red bike. Mine just wasn't good enough anymore. I had an idea, but my parents said I shouldn't do it. I decided to do it anyway. This was the best idea I've ever had. My friends were going to be so jealous when they saw my bike. But, when I started painting the bike, the red paint started dripping off the chrome. It was the worst thing that could have happened. I thought it was ruined forever. I went to my parents to ask for their help. I thought they would be so mad, but they weren't. My dad told me that people make mistakes and there's always a way to fix them. He gave me a bunch of tools and he said it would be a lot of hard work, but that we could make my bike shiny again. It took a long time. I could see my friends outside and I wanted to go play with them, but I knew I needed to keep working on my bike. I never thought it would work; but finally, the red paint started coming off! I could see how great it was going to be. Soon, my bike was just about perfect. My dad helped me so much. Race you to the park!

😀i loved it! I saw another story about a bike too. A girl wanted a bike, and her dad said she could have it if she saved up. When she said she had the money they went to get a bike but the one she wanted was way too expencive. She was crying. Her dad asked how much money she had. I cant remember how much money the girl had but it was a bit more then 60 cents. Her dad said he would pay the rest of the money if she gave him all the cents she had and a hug. She was happy about her bike. The dad realized it was like how when if you do your best in life you can still succede even tho you are not perfact because of Jesus.

I watch this at least once a week with my 3 year old grand daughter. She loves it.

This video was SO great! I watched it with my 8 year old daughter. She loved it, too. Those lessons are for adults too. Be obedient to your loving earthly parents, there is always a solution to a problem and they'll help you find it. Really mirrors be obedient to your loving heavenly parents and you're going to make mistakes but thanks to the plan of salvation, repentance will turn our scarlet sins white as snow. We found like six lessons! I love Mormon messages!

Thank you father for forgiveness. Amen🙏🙏🙏

[lifeloverlorijean]

Love this! Such lessons to be learned about love from this. Wise advice from his loving father! "People make mistakes" but with work, they can be fixed! What a loving Father we have in Heaven!

I watched it once for the message and a few more times for all the cuteness. Like I love that the paint dealer keeps it on the low-down, working out of the back alley. He's packin' paint! LOL.

Amen! Ira, you often put something here that is timely and only by God's grace. Thank you!

[cathrinetaye]

To me sometimes is embarrassing to forgive someone but real life is really fun.

Love this! So happy, relatable, and uplifting. Thank you for the smile.

Lots of great messages. The part that I think most people don't get is sometimes when youth may be doing wrong, going to your parents is a great place to start. So many youth these days are afraid of losing their parents love when they do something wrong. We as parents need to let our youth now they can come to us with anything and not be afraid.

We all make mistakes, but we must learn from them. Mistakes bring about repentance. Repentance is such a gift to mankind.

[nathanbanks]

Awesome video! Mistakes are part of learning to become like Jesus Christ. When we choose to repent our sins can be removed, and we can be truly free! Someday this change will be permanent if we continue on the path of discipleship. How would it be to not sin anymore ever!? That is a very long term goal, but is possible through the grace of Christ!

[danielpadilla]

I love this video. Teach us hope, compassion and forgiveness.

[Shootingstar]

To be honest, mistakes are actually important. If we don't make any mistakes we may seem perfect, but actually mistakes can help us learn what we have done wrong

Yep even if we feel we have messed up we have not gone beyond the grasp of divine love! We can be encircled in the arms of safety, especially when we're struggling, just like this young boy was encircled in the safety of the arms of his parents. (Alma 34:16)

[gracebednarik]

Best video ever even though we make mistakes we can always fix them the kids like us. We make mistakes but the dad was like Jesus Christ. He will help us even when we make mistakes.😀😀😀

[kalenaawho]

that was a great stop motion video!!! the church is really a great thing.

[taylorbills]

we all make mistakes and we can all be forgiven

I hardly ever cry. But this made my eyes water. Though i am no mormon and don't intend to become a mormon, I have the deepest respect for your religion as well as any other which focus around love. The way mormons see mariage as a life lasting bond, companionship and commitment is a wonderfull thought. Thanks for making my day :)
