Just go through this beautiful story which illustrate what faith can do....
The fields were parched from lack of rain, and the crops laid wilting from thirst. Days turned into years and still there was no inkling of water drops. The ministers of the local churches called for an hour of prayer in the town square on the following Sunday. They requested that everyone bring an object of faith for inspiration. At high noon on the appointed day, the town square was filled to the brim with anxious faces and hopeful hearts. The ministers were touched to see the variety of objects clutched in prayerful hands - holy books, crosses, rosaries etc.
When the hour ended, as if on magical command, a soft rain swept the crowd as they held their treasured objects high in gratitude and praise. From the middle of the crowd, one faith symbol seemed to overshadow all the others :
A small 9 year old child had brought an umbrella.
When we do something in life, have complete and I stress once again, have complete faith
that we will definitely succeed. We should never do anything half-mindedly. Faith - On which the Life stands.

The Heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing
There are, can be and will be instances in your life when there will be a dilemma whether to pay heed to your mind or the heart. And sometimes it is but natural that we give in to our heart, which, as per me, is the right thing to do.
Anyways, here is the narration of another true incident that happened to, none other than my Boss (As told to me by one of my colleague)
Continuing her daily chores of going to her office, she stopped in front of a medical shop to buy some medicines. She was about to return back when she heard a quarrel between the shopkeeper and an aged person.
The shopkeeper's voice was somewhat stern. The aged person, who was around 90 years old, was literally crying. My Boss was not able to understand the whole scenario and she asked the shopkeeper about the same. The story was like this -----
The old man had come to buy some medicines for himself but he had comparatively lesser money. He requested the shopkeeper but then, of course, he was not ready to give.
My Boss asked the aged person, "Baba, is it true". He was still sobbing and could only nod his head. There was no further thinking and in a moment the required money was in the hands of the shopkeeper.
Many people here, would doubt the credibility of the act but then I think this has no explanation, whatsoever. I know only one thing. It requires tonnes of courage and faith to do the same thing for a complete stranger.
