My father’s friend named Mike is a fisherman<\/span><\/p>\n

He used to go to the sea early morning<\/span><\/p>\n

When everyone still snoring and sleeping<\/span><\/p>\n

He will escaped and slowly walk and run<\/span><\/p>\n

After how many hours, before lunch\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He will come home holding his bunch<\/span><\/p>\n

Full of fish, big and small<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Different colors, different kinds, different sizes<\/span><\/p>\n

My friend Michael and I will clean the fishes<\/span><\/p>\n

Some for cooking<\/span><\/p>\n

Some for giving\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some for selling<\/span><\/p>\n

My friend used to go to the market during afternoon<\/span><\/p>\n

To sell the fish, his father’s caught<\/span><\/p>\n

When he sold, he will come home with money<\/span><\/p>\n

He will give it to his parents<\/span><\/p>\n

And save some for his schooling<\/span><\/p>\n

His father said: “fishing is not easy<\/span><\/p>\n

You have to be patient\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pray that you might catch<\/span><\/p>\n

Fishes knows whose net they are going<\/span><\/p>\n

Fishes knows who are needy<\/span><\/p>\n

As I pray to God, I pray to fish to come”<\/span><\/p>\n

If I will not go fishing, my family will suffer<\/span><\/p>\n

My son will stop studying<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t want to see that, he is our one and only child<\/span><\/p>\n

My family will be hungry<\/span><\/p>\n

I dont want to see them suffered, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fishing is not only a job but it is a dedication to God, I said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes!its true his father said. Fishing is about a choice<\/span><\/p>\n

It is about choosing the most and best for you and your family<\/span><\/p>\n

And fishing is all about love<\/span><\/p>\n

If you love God<\/span><\/p>\n

He will give you the best more than you ask for, wait patiently<\/span><\/p>\n

Fishing is the foundation of this family<\/span><\/p>\n

My<\/span>\u00a0wife’s family is rich. Y<\/span>et, she still chose me, she said: <\/span><\/p>\n

“we will surpass as long as we stay, still and keep fishing, <\/span><\/p>\n

And be a fisherman to God”<\/span><\/p>\n

We can be richer than my family, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fishing is loving those people around<\/span><\/p>\n

Not by catching quickly proud<\/span><\/p>\n

But to wait patiently love<\/span><\/p>\n

The best catch will come from God<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
