This was a rare miracle. Fortunately the story has a happy ending since Ingrid was rescued at sea. Without them they would surely perish. The same is true for our faith. Faith is what enables us to endure the storms of life.
Faith is our lifeline.
There are times when someone who is very close to us, like Ingrid's husband, Leif, comes to our rescue. Those are the times we are grateful that there is someone to watch over us, who cares for us and rescues us when we begin to sink. But, there are other times when the one who rescues us is a complete stranger. Recently I was sailing in the Chesapeake Bay. After debarking from our marina we soon discovered that our instruments did not work.
