[00:00.30]13.A Tragedy or a Blessing? [00:04.23]Years ago in Scotland, the Clark family had a dream. [00:08.36]Clark and his wife worked and saved, making plans for their nine children and themselves to travel to the United States. [00:17.07]It had taken years, but they had finally saved enough money [00:20.89]and had gotten passports and reservations for the whole family on a new liner to the United States. [00:27.96]The entire family was filled with anticipation and excitement about life in America. [00:34.39]However, seven days before their departure, the youngest son was bitten by a dog. [00:42.45]The doctor sewed up the boy but hung a yellow sheet on the Clarks’ front door. [00:47.13]Because of the possibility of rabies, they were being quarantined for fourteen days. [00:53.34]The family’s dreams were dashed. [00:56.44]They would not be able to make the trip to America as they had planned. [01:00.47]The father, filled with disappointment and anger, stomped to the dock to watch the ship leave — without the Clark family. [01:08.85]The father shed tears of disappointment and cursed both his son and God for their misfortune. [01:15.49]Five days later, the tragic news spread throughout Scotland - the mighty Titanic had sunk. [01:24.64]The unsinkable ship had sunk, taking hundreds of lives with it. [01:30.09]The Clark family was to have been on that ship, [01:33.36]but because the son had been bitten by a dog, they were left behind in Scotland. [01:37.96]When Mr. Clark heard the news, he hugged his son and thanked him for saving the family. [01:45.28]He thanked God for saving their lives and turning what he felt was a tragedy into a blessing. [01:52.28]Although we may not always understand, all things happen for a reason.
