Day is Done

12 Comments

Lord,

Let me

Catch up on

My sleep tonight.

Up before sunrise,

I leave the sheltered bay,

Dragging trolling gear all day,

Trying to fill the boat with fish,

Standing on my feet from dawn ’til dark

To make a living for my family.

    A fantastic picture and a wonderful tribute, Anneli. One of my grandfathers was a farmer-fisherman.

    I remember the Bible story of Simon and Andres who throw their net in the ocean and catch many after trusting Him. Beautiful thoughts, Anneli
