As I reflect back my life and the times people told me that they will do something. Instantly, I look forward to them coming through, Firstly because they gave their Word, Secondly because they Promise. Now let’s reflect back in the Story, when Emily asked can she have my next catch. My reaction was yes, you can have my next catch "You got my word". Emily was so excited and over flooded with Joy because her trust was in my word. My next catch was my largest, "Something happen" instead of following through on my word I wanted to keep it. Emily looked into my Eyes with Compassion instead of Disappointment. These were her words, I understand Mr. Calvin that’s your largest catch and you want to keep it. WOW! She Compromise with me, afterward I made a Promise and came through with flying colors since my next catch was even larger and I gave it to her. God truly came through, I asked for forgiveness and learned a valuable lesson. In Closing, I hope this Story will touch your Heart in ways only you can Imagine....
