There were 3 ships which were nearby when the Titanic sunk.
*Sampson*. It was 7 miles away from the Titanic,but because
the crew had been hunting seals illegally & didn't want to be caught, they
turned away from the Titanic.
# This ship represents those of us who are so busy in our
own sin &lives that we can't recognize when someone else is in need.
*Californian*. This
ship was only 14 miles away from the Titanic, but because the conditions
weren't favorable & it was dark, the
crew convinced themselves that nothing
was happening.
# This ship
represents those of us who say I can't do anything now and we wait until
conditions are perfect.
*Carpathia*. This
ship was actually headed in a southern direction 58 miles away from the Titanic
when they heard the distress cries over the radio. The captain of this ship
prayed to God for direction, turned the ship around & went full steam ahead
through the ice fields. This was the ship that saved the 705 survivors of the
Titanic.
Obstacles and reasons to avoid responsibility shall always
be there, but those who accept it always find a place in the hearts to be
remembered for the world of good they do.
I really wish that in 2020 we all be *Carpathians* in life
and make the world a more beautiful
place to live in.
