Today we went prawn fishing with a friend and her niece and nephew. We had a fun time prawn fishing. It was their first time there. For our family, we had gone prawn fishing for about 3 or 4 times but we never managed to catch many prawns. The most we had was about 6 prawns. Well today we had a bumper crop...not through our own efforts though. In the beginning, we had slightly more success than before in prawn fishing today because Heng asked God for good success. We were fishing for about 1.5 hours when suddenly a guy came over to Heng with a net full of prawns. We were surprised that he wanted to give all the prawns to us! It turned out that he don't eat prawns but just fished them for the fun of it!
Well I was so excited to experience this touch of God's favour! My friend said it was restful increase. Indeed when we were laboring for the past 1 to 2 hours, we only caught a few prawns. In fact, we would have never been able to catch that many prawns in our 3 hours there. Yet when God shows us His unmerited favour, we had overflowing abundance! We really felt like Apostle Peter when they labored all night and caught nothing, yet when Jesus told them to let down the nets, they caught a boat-sinking, net-breaking load of fish! What a tremendous testimony for Joshua and the kids! God is so good to us...of all the people fishing there, the guy chose us to give the prawns to! It is really God's favour!
In the end, we caught 11 prawns and my friend caught 10 prawns (not bad for a first-timer). But what was amazing was that the net of prawns was more than 40! My friend said her mum would be so surprised to see so many prawns!
