The Fresh Fish Years ago my cousin, Myrtle Outlaw, down in Camden, S.C., lived in a bad neighborhood. The people next door moved away and she prayed for a good Christian family to move in. In a little while a family moved in, but she hadn’t had time to meet them. On the next Saturday she came home from work and on the kitchen table was a dishpan of fresh fish. Her youngest son was a good fisherman, and this was the chance she was waiting for. She took half the fish out of the pan and went next door. A lady named Betty Thompson came to the door. Myrtle told her that she lived next door and had brought her some fish as a “welcome to the neighborhood” gift. Betty burst out laughing and said that she had the same idea. It was she who brought the fish over to Myrtle’s. From that day forward Myrtle and Betty were good friends, and they still laugh about their fish story. Lula Grover | Fayetteville | South River EMC |
