It never ceases to amaze me how God answers my prayers. At the moment, my two greatest prayers are<\/p>\n
\u2013 a prayer for a lovely, central, easily accessible mooring for my boat\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2013 for enough volunteers to help ensure that the first phase of construction \u2013 getting the ship up and running \u2013 can be completed soon. And then \u201eall that remains\u201c is the interior work.<\/p>\n
A team from Serve the City and Bord were actually supposed to arrive today. Unfortunately, for the first time, they didn\u2019t have enough sign-ups, so it looks like it\u2019s not going to happen. That worried me a bit\u2026 there\u2019s still sooo much work to do. I put it in God\u2019s hands. And straight away, I got a message from Tobias in Hamburg, who\u2019d already spent two weeks on board. \u201eI told God that I\u2019d come back to help if I had a job offer by 20 July.\u201c That wasn\u2019t \u201eblackmail\u201c, but simply because he wouldn\u2019t otherwise have been able to afford the trip.<\/p>\n
And yesterday there was another surprise. Whenever I go to the site where my ship is moored, I greet the other staff, pay them a compliment on their work \u2013 it really always looks great \u2013 or just wave a \u201ehello\u201c their way. Yesterday evening, an employee waved from the shore and called out proudly: \u201eLook, that\u2019s my son!\u201c pointing to a young man by his side. I invited the two of them on board and showed them the boat. The son was impressed that I, as the owner, was lending a hand myself. And at the end he said: \u201eI\u2019ve got a week free next week. I\u2019ll come and help you!\u201c What\u2019s that \u2013 a person I\u2019ve only known for half an hour.<\/p>\n
I am struck by the imaginative ways in which God answers my prayers, by His love for me \u2013 and by people\u2019s kindness.<\/p>\n
