Catch and Release

Catch and Release.  Catch and Release is a thing that some fishermen do when they catch a fish they put it back in the water and let it go.  Unfortunately some folk do this with people. They begin a friendship and then let the other person go.

We begin a relationship with someone and before you know it we let them go.  We catch and release people.  This ought not be the way we live our lives.  We need to catch and hold on to and treasure our friends.  We should protect our relationships.  There will be tough times, things said and done that hurt one another, but we have to love through those times.  Don’t just release folk because of some little something or another; not for anything.  Even if the friendship seems to be unrepairable; love can make it better and stronger than it ever was before.  Leave Catch and Release for when you are fishing, not when dealing with friends.  Make sure you have unconditional love in you so that you can give it those around you.  We can’t give something we don’t have.  You are loved, treasured, and protected today!
