Life of Music
When the great explorer Ernest Shackleton sailed to Antarctica, his plan to trek to the South Pole went awry when his ship became trapped in the crushing ice.
He and his crew were forced to abandon ship and an epic rescue operation began.
I was surprised to read, however, that amongst the supplies Shackleton took from the sinking ship, was a crewman’s banjo!
Whatever hardships his men were about to face, he knew they would be stronger with the sound of music to lighten their hearts.
Thankfully, we aren’t trapped in the Antarctic, but some challenges and concerns in life can indeed be serious.
Our words, offered in kindness, can be the music that lifts a heart and makes the journey worth carrying on with.
