Feeling Rough:
November 1994.
On my first trip to Poland, Paul Dando, Elwyn Phillips and myself travelled over three thousand miles.
The adventure began with the roughest ferry trip on the North Sea, from Folkstone to Rotterdam.
At this point, I didn’t mind sighted guide, but unless I had complete confidence in the person guiding me, I would prefer to use my white-cane at the same time.
Anyway, while Paul was trying to guide me around the ferry, suddenly I sensed that the roller tip on the end of my white-cane had disappeared!
O no! What was I going to do?
This was just the beginning of the trip, and more importantly, the roller tip was quite expensive to purchase. What is more, I had no spare, and there wasn’t any chance of getting another on route.
So, with great urgency, we had to re-trace our footsteps.
The pure thought of continuing the journey without a roller tip wasn’t an option for me!
Incidentally, while all this was happening, our friend, Elwyn, experienced sea-sickness on the upper deck!
And so, as Paul and I searched the ferry on the choppy sea, we eventually found the roller tip underneath an open stairway.
What a relief!
Friends, life at times can feel rather like that rough crossing, full of hardship and trials, with feelings of agitation and turbulence.
But, you know, we can choose to remember the times when things have been rough, or we can simply choose to rely on Jesus.
He calls out to the winds and sea, and they do what He tells them!
So, come-on!
Turn all your troubles over to Him, because He cares for you.
Luke 8:25
