Xa uJimmy Macdonald wazifumana esokola emanzini eLake George eNew York ecaleni kwe-kayak yakhe ebhukuqiwe, wayecinga ukuba angafa.

Kodwa xa ikayak yakhe yabhukuqa kwaye ibhatyi yobomi yakhe ekhawulezileyo yafika ezindlebeni zakhe, uMacdonald wayesazi ukuba usengxakini enkulu.
“Bendicinga ukuba ndiyafa. Ndandingenakunceda kwaye ndifuna ukucela uncedo kungekudala. Bendiwangawangisa isandla sam ndicela uThixo ukuba andincede, ”utshilo.
UThixo wayiphendula imithandazo yakhe, kodwa hayi ngohlobo uYesu awayehamba ngalo emanzini.
