Keeping Promises


We saw a beautiful rainbow above the palm trees and it reminded me that a rainbow is God's promise never to send another worldwide flood. I wonder how many of us are as conscientious about keeping promises. It's so easy to make a pledge in the heat of the moment and then forget all about it. Politicians are famous for promising the world and not delivering a thing, but ordinary citizens can be just as bad. It seems like convenience is a large factor in promise-keeping. Think back to the last promise you made. Did you keep it?

No. No I didn't. I had a lot of excuses (needed a tooth drilled, caught a bad cold, and an ice-storm hit) but still, it was a promise broken and no amount of excuses will change that.
