The More Important Things in Life

Some people search for 'miracle spring water' or fountain of youth, some search for the 'immortal pill'. Some even seek out the gurus and magic potions while some others just go for Botox. Whatever the method, the quest to seek out everlasting youthfulness has long been the holy grail of many - sadly, much to the disappointment of those who pursue it. At most, they slow it down, but physical deterioration and old age catch up soon enough. Its a fact - we all live once and someday, we will grow old and die. So what is this life about? Money? Power? Fame? Catching the biggest fish? 

"Meaningless...a chasing after the wind", to quote from the book of Ecclesiastes. We can be remembered today for something we achieved but come tomorrow, will we still be remembered? Yes, money is important, but remember, it is only a good servant but bad master. Money is not the root of all evil. The LOVE of money, is the root of all evil (1 Tim 6:10). At the end of the day, though we may have achieved some sort of success in our lives, do always remember the more important and meaningful things in life; love, family, friendship, peace, happiness, loving others and being a blessing to others, and being thankful to God for every single breath you take each morning.

Okay, so these are not "nature's creation". But pieces of "art" nevertheless from the boys at Rapala

And somehow, the toothy buggas love them

Didn't I tell you so?

Seriously, you'd be surprised if I told you his age. FG needs no Botox. Look at the boyish smile! You'd think he's only 21. That's what fishing does to you

Pain or pleasure?

At least Mr Cobia here's not the toothy kind

I think FG looks more tired than the fish

See what I mean about his age?

At the end of it all, one of the most important things in life are friends who share life's memorable and precious moments with you.
