Calm in the Storm
A woman caught in a frightening storm in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean had kept all the little children on board from panicking by telling Bible stories. After finally reaching the dock safely, the ship's captain approached the woman, whom he had observed in the midst of the tempest.
"How were you able to maintain your calm when everyone feared the ship would sink in the storm?" the captain asked. As she looked up, he noted the same quiet peace in her eyes that she had maintained throughout the journey.
"I have two daughters," explained the Christian woman. "One of them lives in New York, the other lives in Heaven. I knew I would see one of them in a few hours, and it really didn't matter to me which one."
