Message In A Bottle

Did you ever write a message, stick it in a bottle and throw it out to sea? What would you say? What would you hope the outcome to be? Imagine tossing a bottle into the ocean. A small vessel that bottle would be in a sea. What are the chances of someone actually finding it, reading it and responding to it? It seems impossible. One tiny bottle (message), tossed (prayed) into the sea (Heaven). Hoping (hoping) it will be recovered. Then, if it is recovered, will the message be answered?

I am here to tell you that messages (prayers) are recovered (answered) and there is hope, there is always hope.

July 25, 2006 our family threw a bottle into the Pacific Ocean with a message of love and hope.
July 28, 2006 that bottle was recovered by another family. The bottle hadn't traveled all that far (15 to 20 miles) but it made a pretty unique journey past the Golden Gate Bridge in pretty rough seas. It traveled north, up the Pacific Coast where it was found by a lovely family of three. Imagine our surprise and delight to receive a letter (via the U.S. mail, which incidentally moved slower than a bottle in the sea) saying our message was recovered. It seemed impossible.

Say your prayers, toss them to Heaven, expect them to be recovered and know that nothing is impossible with God.
