Life is very much like fishing. There are great days with perfect weather and great company. All your gear works perfectly, from the boat to no tangled lines, and the fish bite so well that you catch your limit in no time. You relax thinking about how great it will all taste. Then there are bad days with horrible weather and people you don’t get along with and frankly, don’t like. The boat won’t start, and once it does, you can’t keep it running. You've got tangled lines, your favorite lure is lost to the sea, and not one fish is hauled in. But in both instances, you’re fishing.
I saw a great bumper sticker that said, “A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work.” And if you substitute “Fishing” for “Life” and “Work” for the opposite of “Life” then our perspective is opened to God’s Truth. Life is GOOD, regardless of the circumstances. Whether your day goes exceedingly well or is the worst you’ve experienced thus far- it’s still a day of Life, and Life is Good. I hope God grants you lots of days and I do hope they are great, but even if they’re not, I’m still grateful that God gave you the gift of Life. Peace, Todd
