Dearly Beloved,
“CUSTOMERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!”
“And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all...” (2 Timothy 2:24 NKJV).
Sequel to my wife’s abrupt disengagement from service in her workplace, we started a frozen foods business in a small shop in the front of our home.

There is this axiom that says, “Customers… Continue

“When I refused to confess my sin, I was weak and miserable, and I groaned all day long. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, ‘I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.’ And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone” (Psalm 32:3-5 NLT).
