Thursday December 4 th. 2008 Praying for fish!

 My brother Mark gets to go fishing to day with his recreational therapist Kelly.   I asked if I could come along and watch he said yes. I was so happy to get to see Mark do what he really loves.  Our Dad has always took us fishing with him since we were kids, so Mark developed a love for fishing at a very young age!  I talked to our Dad today and told him what Mark was going to get to do. We talked about Praying that Mark would catch a fish, we knew that this would bless Mark.  Dad and I prayed for Mark to catch a fish.  God blessed Mark today Mark caught a trout right a way,  Mark had three outer bites one bite seemed like it was a really big bite but that was the fish that got away.  My mom seen a fish jump to the left of where Marks line was Mom pointed it out to Mark.  Mark seen the ripples in the water he decide he was going to try and catch that fish.  Mark reeled in his fishing line and cast the pole right where that fish had jump then he said , I am going to wake that fish!   Well this made us all smile because Mark cast the pole perfectly and he new he wanted that fish.  Kelly had a fishing pole in the water to and Kelly got a fish on the line. Kelly went to hand mark his pole and Mark refused, he said,that is your fish you bring it in.  Mark enjoyed watching Kelly bring his fish in I could see it on Marks face.  Mark got to fish about a hour and then Kelly told Mark it was time to go.  My brother had been sitting in his wheelchair the hole time. When Kelly told Mark we had to get back it was getting cold Mark reeled in his pole. Then before we new it mark stood to his feet and grabbed the railing in front of him and he cast the pole again.  Mark had to get his last cast in, very typical of all fisher men!  What a beautiful day!  God you are a God that loves to bless his children, we give you all the glory you deserve!
