The Power of Promise. Keeping to promise is a great virtue and it's a virtue every one must have.

Have you heard about this saying that; Promise is a debt. Keeping to promise is a great virtue and it's a virtue every one must have. No promise is too small to keep, once it is a promise it must be kept.

Promise of a help to struggling man is like seeing a sudden light in a dark tunnel, failing on that promise leaves the man worse than you met him, it breaks their will power to endure having given them a false hope.
Promising what you cannot do is the height of foolish, especially if the fellow is known with that. It soils ones reputation beyond cleanning, it's really a tough stain.
Unkept promise(s) kills the will power of the supposedly recipients. It destroys their morale to carry on,it dampens their spirit, distrup plans and ultimately makes the heart weak.
Here is a story you need to learn from.
One cold night, a billionaire met an old poor man outside. He asked him, “Don't you feel cold without wearing coat?”The old man replied, “I don't have coat, but I am used to it.”
The billionaire said, “I will enter my house now and bring you one.”
The poor man got so happy and said he would wait.
The billionaire entered the house and got busy with something else, thereby forgetting about the poor man. When he later remembered him in the morning, he quickly went out to search for him. But unfortunately, he found him dead with a NOTE.
The note reads: "When I didn't have any warm clothes, I had the power to fight the cold because I was used to it. But when you promised to help me, I got attached to your promise and that took my power of resistance.”
MORAL: Don't promise anything you cannot keep. It might not mean anything to you, but it could mean everything to someone else.

Do have a great day. Remember to put a smile on someone's face today and always.

Hope to see your comments. Thanks

NAMBA: A VILLAGE WHERE MANNA STILL FALLS.

Namba is a small and drought-stricken village in Southern part of Angola, a Seventh Day Adventist missionary who spent nearly a lifetime in Africa established a mission in this village. This white missionary left and for some years the mission was under the care of a local director. One year the rains failed to come, the crops did not grow, and the mission stores were emptied and no money to buy food if it could have been found. The mission director had been away for some weeks on a trip visiting distant mission schools. The believers at the Missao Adventista da Namba came to the end of their resources and food supply. The director's wife called the families together and told them the situation. Then she read to the people the promises of the Lord and told them of the manna which had been sent by God to His people in the time of Moses, assuring them that God could send them food in the same way, if necessary. After prayer, a little girl, about five years of

The nature of mindsets, part 1.The deeper reason to examine our mindsets is so we can mount a self-aware response to the great challenges of our day.

The nature of mindsets by Ash Buchanan A primer on how our underlying beliefs, attitudes and assumptions create our everyday lives — and our shared world Mindsets shape the lives we lead, the actions we take and the future possibilities of the world we live in.
