At a seaside resort in Hawai, James Donald who knew a lot on boats was very often called by many owners to paint their boats. One such person asked James to paint his boat. He brought with him paint and brushes and began to paint the boat a bright red, as the owner suggested. While painting, he noticed that there was a small hole in the hull and quietly without making much fuss repaired it. When finished painting, he received his money and left.
The next day, the owner of the boat came and presented James with a nice fat cheque, much higher than the payment for painting his boat. James was surprised and said ‘You’ve already paid me for painting the boat Sir and it was such a small service, certainly it’s no worth paying me such a high amount for something so insignificant.’
The owner replied: ‘My dear friend, you do not understand. Let me tell you what happened. When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention about the hole. When the boat dried, my kids took the boat and went on a fishing trip. They did not know that there was a hole. I was not at home at that time. When I returned and noticed they had taken the boat, I was desperate because I remembered that the boat had a hole. Imagine my relief and joy when I saw them returning from fishing. Then I examined the boat and found that you had repaired the hole! You see, now, what you did? You saved the life of my children. I do not have enough money to pay for your small good deed. I am so thankful to you and cannot tell you how pleased I am to see my children safe and sound and all the credit goes to you. I fall short of my words.’
So, no matter who, when or how, just continue to help, sustain, listen attentively and carefully repair all the ‘leaks’ you find, because you never know when one is in need of us or when God holds a pleasant surprise for us to be helpful and be of importance to someone. You may have repaired numerous ‘boat holes’ along the way of several people without realizing how many lives you’ve saved. So keep up the good work.
Ah! What an exceptionally inspiring story! Thank you for sharing this tale along with its important lesson of “repairing boat holes” all along life’s way. Blessings to you, Kamal

Best10 Canlı Casino Analysis
Best10 online games are swift and simple to use, as opposed
to many other websites, they don’t require a download, so gamers have instant
access to the online casino world. Best10 pays $1 million every week– some indicator of the
website’s popularity. Unlike some of their competitors, BEST10 is emphasized quality, instead of quantity; focus to
detail without tricks. They offer all the video games of a traditional land-based casino site, including Roulette,
Blackjack, Baccarat, Craps, Poker and Slots, all run on Chartwell Software program.
When you sign up with Best10 you can test all the games before you go in for any cash.
The sign-up process includes giving out a few personal information including your name, location, and
age. Having this done, you can begin playing right away.
The “bet fun” mode is an exact copy of the “play for real”, so you can have fun with a no-risk training.
The video games are listed under the six categories of: card games,
table games, 3 reel slots, 5 reel slots, Video poker and Numbers Games making the web
page navigation really straightforward. Once you’re ready for the incorporated thrill of betting real money, it’s a
child’s play of filling out a few bank card details, purchasing
a number of chips and clicking on the tables!
When you want to test a new online betting experience, Best10
makes things convenient. Each play is gone along with by a
“the way to play” guide and they in fact,
offer guidance on succeeding strategy! All the games have clearly defined betting limitations ranging
from 1 to 2,500 chips so you may choose how much you desire to gain.
Best10 is distinct from its opponents because of its ultramodern look.
The style of the games with their black and gold livery, make it
among the most elegant on line casinos around. They’ve also made the games unbelievably intuitive to enjoy and
with a great reputation for customer service and fairness,
gamers keep returning.
Every month Best10 has new promos– at the moment it’s “Royal Windsor Monday Nights” guaranteeing to hand out ₤ 50,000 throughout May.
They’re also offering a new customer bonus of ₤ 50, ₤ 100 or ₤ 250– but you should
risk 20 times the total up to claim the bonus.
Best10 has an honorable pedigree. Powered by the UK’s top individual bookmaker,
Best10, with 60 years knowledge in the UK gaming business, BEST10 is
a safe site to play. They pride themselves on the top-flight of customer
care plus all financial transactions occur using the most up to date
secure technology.
So what’s good and negative regarding Best10?
We’re impressed with the no install that works so well.
There’s no loss of performance and the visuals are pretty sexy.
It’s pleasant to get on with the video games fast, and without
any block on your computer’s storage. The helpful guidelines on each game make
it very easy for newbies to get going and feel
sure about what they’re doing. Alternatively, bonus hunters must work very hard for their cash here.
The pre-staking for the reward is a true negative, mainly when many other
internet casinos give it to customers up front. Generally, Best10’s an excellent UK internet gambling casino with a fantastic look and feel and a trustworthy
credibility. We like to take our cash here.
