Can Our Words Hunt Us? by samblessed: 2:46am On Aug 13, 2019
I sat with my mum today and she told me a true life story that will always stick to her memory as long as she breathes. Hear her....;

" My father died and on the day of his burial, a very close friend of my dad wept profusely like a child, held the coffin and was saying to the hearing of all the mourners, " how can I live without Christopher.....it's not possible. I can't imagine life without him." The elders dragged him away and finally buried my dad. But the man went to the grave and lay there weeping and repeating same words he had been saying earlier. Few days after my dad burial, news flew in he had died!
The whole village was shocked and thrown into another rounds of mourning."

My mum concluded by telling me that, she learnt a lesson as a child from that event. And the lesson is, that there is power in the words we speak!
