Back on the water

Virginia Anders

Aiden loved sailing. He loved the sun on his face and the sound of the sailboat splashing through the water. He had been sailing ever since his dad had first taken him out on a sailboat in the bay. But after being in a bike accident, Aiden wasn’t able to go sailing. He hurt, and he was angry.

Aiden attended Christian Science Sunday School and had learned that God loved him. But he didn’t feel very loved at the moment. Aiden told his dad how much he missed sailing.

Dad listened to Aiden’s disappointment and frustration. Then he asked, “What has to happen before we sail?”
