Go Fishing

At and On the Sea of Galilee

Being at the Sea of Galilee brought back the memories of the stories of Jesus at this very place.  When I saw the  boats on shore, I knew I wanted to be on the sea not just at the sea. 

It was wonderful to finally get on a boat and push off from shore. 

As I looked across, I wondered how much was the same as when Jesus looked at this shore.

I asked myself, if I, like Peter, would have stepped out on this water.

I saw a boat coming from the horizon.  

As it got closer, I realized it was a fishing boat.  

What a special treat to see the net up in the air as I took the photos.  

As the net landed, I remembered the story of Peter, casting the net in the daytime at Jesus’ command. 

 

As the boat sailed on, I thanked God for allowing me to "go fishing" on the Sea of Galilee.

Peter learned the lesson that obeying Jesus brought unimaginable blessings and a new assignment.  

My heart was praising God as I enjoyed my day on the Sea of Galilee,  I pondered what my next assignment might be.
