Have Faith

Know that what is impenetrable to us
really exists, manifesting itself as the highest
wisdom and the most radiant beauty.

~ ALBERT EINSTEIN

 

A few years ago I traveled by ship, as part of a tour, to see the Alaskan wilderness.  During one of the day trips to view a glacier, a sudden snowstorm limited my visibility.  I became separated from my guide and the group.  When the squall ceased, I could see no one, and there was no response to my calls.

Alone on the cold barren mountainside I began to fear for my life.  Then I remembered what I tell everyone at workshops: “When you don’t know what to do, say a prayer.”  I prayed for God to save me, but nothing happened.

As it grew dark I began to give up hope until I saw someone approaching.  I waved and attracted his attention.  It was an Eskimo returning from a seal hunt.  He tucked me into his sled and brought me back to civilization and my group.  I felt God had deserted me until I realized who had sent the Eskimo.

You never know how God will answer your prayers. Have faith; the answer may even come in the form of an Eskimo.

Peace,
~ Bernie
