My dear<\/p>\n
The sailboat we can build…<\/p>\n
The sails we may hoist high…<\/p>\n
The rudder we might sit by and control…<\/p>\n
But unless there is a wind, the sailboat remains where it is.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Picture: Harold\u2019s Planet<\/p>\n
A sailboat needs the wind if it is to get to anywhere.<\/p>\n
And we have no control about when and how the wind will blow.<\/p>\n
However, the boat must be ready when the wind finally blows.<\/p>\n
Life is generally about getting our boat ready.<\/p>\n
Living is about making the best of the winds of opportunity and circumstances and challenges.<\/p>\n
And it is not as if life and living are two separate happenings.<\/p>\n
They are intricately interwoven, these two…<\/p>\n
the ready sailboat and the unpredictable winds.<\/p>\n
All the best to you in getting that sailboat of yours ready. And you have my prayers and blessings that the winds will be full-flow gentle, kind and favourable.<\/p>\n
They generally are. The winds come from God\u2019s caring spirit that will make all things well for us.<\/p>\n
Take care. Sail on…<\/p>\n
