This is mostly about my hubby, Carlos and something he did last week. He and his buddies are avid fishermen and spend much of their free time at the nearby waterfront. He really doesn't bring much fish home, but he does bring home a lot of stories and one of them really warmed my heart.
Seems he was approached by a couple of women who asked him if he had any extra fish he could give them because their husbands had not been paid that week and they had no money to buy food to feed their families. So Carlos gave them all the fish he had caught and spread the word to all the other people who were there fishing. Well soon these women had plenty of fish to take home thanks to the generosity of all the fishermen. The next day, these women returned to tell everyone how thankful their families were for the fish and all the meals it would be providing for them.
The kindness of strangers really made a difference in the lives of these women and their families.
I'm proud of Carlos, for he could have easily told those women "no".
But instead he chose to listen to His voice and help someone less fortunate.

How wonderful of your husband. We have to remember that often God uses us to take care of someone else's need.
wow! what a story. this is exactly what i would call showing God's love to others. it's what we are called to do and yet, we don't see enough of this in the world.
thank you, Carlos. and thanks, lynne, for sharing this story.
How wonderful and a 'Good Samaritan' -
I like your wise words of reflection for all too...
The appreciation of the women and I'm sure of the families - says the importance of 'Christian' values in all our lives.
A powerful and emotive post - thank you for sharing..
