Good Sunday Afternoon Everyone:

Remember the Titanic..the great ship that capsized at sea and

lost a lot of lives. Today's story is one you probably didn't know

about the Titanic.

All Things Happen For Reason

Years ago in Scotland, the Clark family had a dream. Clark and his

wife worked and saved, making plans for their nine children and 

themselves to travel to the United States. It had taken years, but they

had finally saved enough money and had gotten passports and

reservations for the whole family on a new liner to the United States.

The entire family was filled with anticipation and excitement about

their new life. However, seven days before their departure, the 

youngest son was bitten by a dog. The doctor sewed up the boy, 

but hung a yellow sheet on the Clarks’ front door. Because of the 

possibility of rabies, they were being quarantined for fourteen days.

The family’s dreams were dashed. They would not be able to make

the trip to America as they had planned. The father, filled with 

disappointment and anger, stomped to the dock to watch the ship

leave – without the Clark family. The father shed tears of 

disappointment and cursed both his son and God for their misfortune.

Five days later, the tragic news spread throughout Scotland – 

the mighty Tittanic had sunk. The unsinkable ship had sunk, taking

hundreds of lives with it. The Clark family was to have been on

that ship, but because the son had been bitten by a dog, they were

left behind in Scotland.

When Mr. Clark heard the news, he hugged his son and thanked

him for saving the family. He thanked God for saving their lives

and turning what he had felt was a tragedy into a blessing.

Although we may not always understand, all things happen for 

a reason.

Because HE Lives! 

Life is short, enjoy it while it lasts. God loves you!

YOU are LOVED !!
