"Went fishing"
I went fishing today not catching. It was a test next to us was
the most persistently peaty little guy with a relative totally
ignoring him. He in fact waved us down. Even my wife said God
meant to have us here!
Between playing guide to my wife and children putting on bait
untangling lines praying for a fish casting wishing St. Peter
was there this boy kept coming over to us talking almost getting
hit by family casts throwing rocks in the water everything not
to want while fishing.
I gave him some toys from a garage sale I was forced to
participate in unt the site of people wanting to pay a quarter
for stuff that cost twenty five dollars new grew too painful.
I gave a few toys away to crying little kids whose mother would
not buy them a toy for a quarter.
I watched people pay .50 to my child for donuts that should have
cost $1.00 but I got a deal some fave the little guy more.
I went to a park nearby put up my hammock and took a nap.
Then today we had boxes to donate and I gave this little boy a
bag of toys to play with he took them to his relative and said
they want to get rid of you.
In a way I am horrible I admit to wanting just a few moments of
peace with my family my wife said she wanted to fish. Never ever
heard that before.
Well the relative finally gets fed up with his talking throwing
rocks getting tangoed and coming over to us and starts pulling
away the car the little guy had to run to it to get in.
My what a world I am ashamed I was not nicer to the little guy
myself I tried to be both helping my family and well my wife
said anyone else would have just chased him away.
Jesus would have done so much better. I saw my children say
never act like your going to leave like that horrified.
Then I read the news Chinese encircling USA waters, Dusdua
replying subs to South America exploiting missle defense
weakness I remember the prophecy of them joining and I see us
appointing the most anti Israel ambassador possible to the UN
and shudder.
I tried to say stuff to my wife in horror reading a baby dumped
in a dumpster in Thailand was rescued by a dog taken to the
authorities.
God used a dog to save a child shame on this world. I wish I had
been nicer to that little boy.
I just wanted to go fishing. Then I read that and see maybe Gods
grace shined I. Spite of me he really liked the toys. The rest
of this world is going to the dogs.
I was given a fish by a man whose wife caught it they don't eat
them I do. Never caught a fish got one anyway. Thank you Jesus
you planned my day before I knew.
That's the only hope we have Jesus the Good Shepard.
Pray for our hearts Doves as this world goes darker they shine
with His light until He comes.
Some days you just want to go fishing but you got to be about
His work first and that can ve while you fish.
Pray for this little boy his relative and the fact that as our
nation ignores the news the head in the sand of those around us
that they awaken and call upon The Lord the Bear is waking up
and the Chinese are sending their navy to our waters as we
attempt to sail in theirs.
And I really just want to go fishing. No one listens to me when
I merely read the news I was told I don't want to hear
this every day to which I replied what the news? Was not even
talking about the rapture.
My fishing for men is going about as well as my fishing but
Jesus keeps giving me a fish any way I think just for showing up
and taking fifteen minute to read the news instead of being told
the latest on tv.
