Six years ago, today, while going about the tasks of the day, comfortably at home, we were thinking of what a wonderful time the men and boys must be having, out in the Gulf, on their exciting fishing trip. Little did we realize that our fishermen were having the fishing trip they would not soon forget.
On this day, instead of fishing, they were floating 25 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico, without a boat, in agony for 14 hours from the frigid water, vomiting and hallucinating by swallowing salt water, being stung by sea creatures, singing, praying, being held up and kept by the Lord God Almighty, who is worthy of all Praise!! They all knew that if this was to be their last hours on this earth, that they would spend eternity with their Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!!
They will be rescued tomorrow!!
Thank You, Lord,
WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!
