I remember hearing how some people caught monkeys, possible to sell them as pets or maybe to eat them. This is what they did, they put some fruit in a bottle, the bottle was attached to a chain, and the neck of the bottle was just wide enough for the monkey to reach into, and grab the fruit. But that created a problem, he could only withdraw his hand out, by letting let go of the fruit. The monkey usually ,would not let go of its prize, and so it was taken captive. A famous Christian called Corrie Ten Boom was visiting a minister, the minister introduced Corrie to his children, later she said to him ''Hold unto things loosely''. Let us all remember all the things we have, are but loaned to us, by God, Job realised that ,when he lost so much, he declared.'' The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away'' ( Job 1 v 21)
