There was a terrible ferry crash in Hong Kong on Monday. My parents have to take the ferry back and forth the city almost everyday. I was pretty sure they were okay because it wasn’t their ferry that was reported in the news. But I got worried when I couldn’t reach them by phone! I whatsapp-messaged them and finally got a response back!
What was scary and amazing at the same time is that they really were almost going to be on that ferry! Because it was a holiday in Hong Kong, lots of people travel to these islands to relax for the day. My mom apparently suggested to my dad that they should go to Lamma Island (which will require them to take the ferry that crashed) and my dad agreed it was a good idea because they can watch the fireworks from the ferry! But for some reason, they never carried out the plan.. so they didn’t board that ferry!
Praise God! Words cannot even express how thankful I am that my parents are alive & well. I can’t even imagine.. I don’t even want to imagine if they died in the crash. It’s really sad that 38 people drowned in the crash. We can’t take everything for granted. We need to love & cherish those around us because the truth is… we never know what will happen. We can only trust & believe in the One who saves.
ZEPHANIAH 3:17
17 The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.”
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.”
