My neighbourhood has several ponds and the neighbors have been having parties all through the extended weekend. Today's party started fishing and then burgers and hotdogs. I was only catching pond plants and getting frustrated. I prayed for God to let me catch one fish, just to throw it back. I was about to give up and thought well if I just quit I'm cutting off chances for the prayer to be answered unless God just pulls a fish out of the pond and drops it in my house. So I cast the like one more time and caught a small (possibly one pound we didn't measure) bass. We took pictures and threw it back, swam off fine. I can only think wow, that's not a coincidence. Really picked me up.

You are right DeerGlow, that was not coincidence. As i read this, I got confirmation by The Holy Spirit. He heard your prayer, and felt your frustration, and out of His Love for you, made that happen. That's The God we serve. For when we are down, He picks us up. Always remember this Dear One.
