Dad's Ramblings -- Contrary Winds

"...It was decided that we should sail to Italy....And the next day we landed at Sidon....When we left there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus because the winds were contrary....When we had sailed slowly many days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of Crete off Salmone. Passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea."
 
                                                                             Acts 27:1a, 3, 7-8
 
Sometimes life is like that – difficult, contrary winds, slow going. Life can be hard. The temptation is to throw up our hands and quit rowing. What to do? Find shelter where we can, but keep rowing. We can't get through the storms of life by checking out.
Remember, the storms will pass and we will come to Fair Havens.
 
Today's Thought: When the storms come, keep rowing.
 
Have a "keeping on" day. Love you.
