The Thoughts that are offered to us every day are like a breath in the sails of the boat that we are. Every navigator knows that you must know how to handle the wind, in order to sail towards the intended destination, without capsizing. Sometimes the sea is like a millpond and the wind very light, at other times, the swell amplifies the acceleration in a dizzying fashion, dangerous even … then, it takes precise fingering to accompany the boat. At other times, the winds are changing and you have to stay the course and trust. This is how I have been reading the “Thought of the Day” for several years. Even when the sea is a millpond, it is there, as a sure bond that keeps us on course. Thank you, Lord, for accompanying us.
