705 SURVIVORS OF TITANIC - WHO SAVED THEM ?

                    TITANIC - The movie that left me with a deep pain for months and the main reason was THE DEATH OF JACK. Not just mine, Jack falling into the Ice cold water leaving Rose behind moves many hearts till date. Girls of 90's still remember and love LEONARDO DI CAPRIO as JACK.


              I was so smitten with this TITANIC story that every little detail about this fascinated me. I personally feel that The Choir who kept playing "Nearer my God to thee" till the last second of their Death were the unsung heroes. 

               Unfortunately the mighty TITANIC SANK WITHOUT A TRACE. Of the 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died and Only 705 were saved. But Do You Know There was a chance to Save more people on that Fateful day if only The Other Two passing Ships Responded in Time. May be our very own Jack would have been saved too. Not just Jack, many lives would have been saved.

And Here is the Story about who saved those 705 SURVIVORS and HOW.
  There were three ships which were nearby when the Titanic sunk.
 
                             One of them was known as the Sampson.


 It was 7 miles away from the Titanic and they saw the white flares signaling danger, but because the crew had been hunting seals illegally and didn't want to be caught, they turned and went the opposite direction away from the Titanic. This ship represents us and people like us if we are so busy looking inward at our own sin and lives that we can't recognize when someone else is in need.

                                  The next ship was the Californian.


 This ship was only 14 miles away from the Titanic, but they were surrounded by ice fields and the captain looked out and saw the white flares, but because the conditions weren't favorable and it was dark, he decided to go back to bed and wait until morning. The crew tried to convince themselves that nothing was happening. This ship represents those of us who say I can't do anything now. The conditions aren't right for it and so we wait until conditions are perfect before going out.

                               The last ship was the RMS Carpathia
.


 This ship was actually headed in a southern direction 58 miles away from the Titanic when they heard the distress cries over the radio. The captain of this ship knelt down, prayed to God for direction and then turned the ship around and went full steam ahead through the ice fields. This was the ship that saved the 705 survivors of the Titanic.

When the captain looked back at the ice fields they had come through, he said Someone else hands must have been at the helm of this ship!
This ship represents those who would pray to God for direction and then go without hesitation.


And  Do you Know WHAT happened to the CREW of RMS CARPATHIA?

The crew of RMS Carpathia were awarded medals by the survivors. Crew members were awarded bronze medals, 
Officers silver, and 
Captain Rostron a silver cup and a gold medal given by Margaret Brown.
Rostron was knighted by King George V, was later a guest of President Taft at the White House, where he was presented with a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest honour the United States Congress could confer upon him.

               Amazing Fruits of Honour they Received. Didn't they? And they all deserved that honour for saving others lives. Well all of that was possible because The Captain of the Ship Rostron knelt, prayed and submitted himself and his entire Crew to Gods will. 

                Yes, there will be such tough moments in our lives too. Where we have to pass through rough weathers and tough situations. Sometimes for us, Sometimes for our family and Sometimes for others too we might have to swim through storms and thunders. Do not be afraid. All we have to do is,
"KNEEL DOWN, CLOSE YOUR EYES, OPEN YOUR HEART
 PRAY TO GOD."

      Whatever answer your Soul Receives, Let your Heart accept it completely.
Submit yourself to Lords will. For then He will Guide you, Guard you and Protect you. You are His Creation and He loves You.
Once you Complete your Journey, Your Fruits of Honour will always be Ready. And They will be much more precious than you expect and Deserve.
            Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. We need to take time to listen and to these whispers and take heed.
