JUST A LITTLE MISTAKE.


One night, just before the shopkeeper closed for the day, a dog came into the shop, having a bag in its mouth. The bag had a list of items to be bought and money so the shopkeeper took the money and kept the items in the bag.

Immediately, The dog picked up the bag of items and left. The shopkeeper was surprised and went behind the dog to see who the owner was. The dog waited at the bus stop, After sometime, a bus came and the dog got into the bus. As soon as the conductor came, it moved forward to show its neck belt which had money and the address as well. The conductor took the money and put the ticket in its neck belt again.


When it reached the destination, the dog went to the front and wagged its tail indicating that it wanted to get down, the moment the bus stopped, it got down. The shopkeeper was still following it. The dog knocked on the door of a house with its legs. Its owner came from inside and beat it rudely with a stick.

The shocked shopkeeper asked him "why are you beating the dog?", to which the owner replied, "it disturbed my sleep. It could have taken the keys with it."

This is the truth of life. There is no end to the expectations people have from you. The moment you go wrong, they start pointing at our mistakes.

All the good done in the past are quickly forgotten. Any small mistake committed gets magnified. You can do 100 things for people but once you do a little mistake they forget all that you have done for them. They capitalize on that your little mistake to hold it against you whereas they themselves ain't perfect.  The owner of the dog had no idea of what his dog went through to get those stuffs yet instead of appreciation, it got beating.

Most people have no idea of what you have gone through in life to make them happy or please them but at the end of it all, instead of them appreciating you or complement you they end up looking for faults and mistakes from you just to discredit you. This is the kind of society we live in.

Learn to appreciate the little given you for you don't know the plans of God. If Jesus could use five loaf of bread to feed multitude of 5000 men, then don't get worried about the little given you. Rather appreciate it and give thanks to him and in his own appointed time, he will bless you abundantly.

Thank you.

THE TWO HOMELESS MEN.

Victor and Adam ; the two homeless and poor men were on a walk as usual to find something for a living. Fortunately for them, they met a man who has  given them a chance to travel abroad on an all-expenses paid trip. They were told to carry nothing and return with nothing. They were to make sure they spend all that was given to them.  Provision had been made for their expenses and welfare which they would get upon arrival at their destination.  The only caveat was that neither of them knew when they would be asked to return home.  As they arrived, they were both given a huge sum of money and a credit card with no limits, but reminded to spend it all before returning to their home country.  At this, they became instantly wealthy by local standards. Adam thought to himself. "Wow! This is my opportunity to live like a king for I don't know how long this would last".  So he went and rented an expensive Ferrari and rented the best room in the best hotel in town. He ate the m
