Hope is a potent feeling... if only for a while


"Richard Parker a ship!" I have been at sea for many many days and finally I see hope in the distance! I is in the form of a tanker ship. I am overcome with joy. " We're saved! We've made it!" I cant control my excitement and laughter, the ship is going to bring me home. It's finally our time to be rescued and it has been such a long journey. My heart is full of hope and I thank you lord. The happiness I am feeling in this moment is greater than any happiness I have ever felt; it is the happiness of salvation. Then suddenly the bliss I was feeling is gone in an instant. To my horror the large, mountain like, oil tanker was not stopping! It was getting closer and closer and heading right for us. I had no time to shoot off a flare; I had to get the tiny raft out of its path of destruction. Just like that the amazing hope and excitement that I built up was gone and I was left with nothing once again. No family, no shelter, no food and no hope.
