Jeremiah 18:1-6; Psalm 146; Matthew 13:47-53

A bit fishy

I’ve always wondered about this parable. It seems such a waste – throwing those fish away because they are of no use. Then it paralleled to the end of life – the wicked and the upright are separated. I wonder how that is done – what criteria the angels might use? It made me start thinking of what I discard in life and my criteria? What do I dismiss as non-essential? Whom do I ignore? Make a list of what criteria you use when deciding what to do. Ask a good friend; do you follow your criteria in reality?
