Cooked With Love

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 15, 2021 / 3,495 views

It was about ten years ago. It was a cold, gray and gloomy Winter’s day. A steady rain was falling that soaked my clothes and chilled my bones. I was walking over to visit my Dad and although his house was only a short walk from mine, I was already wet and miserable. I knocked on his door and stepped in. A warm steam was floating from the kitchen. It touched my nose and suddenly I was eight years old...

We Can Be Our Own Role Model

By Zeitei Chen on November 15, 2021 / 2,640 views

We can be our own role model Teacher Fu said that she would like to be as a missionary, if she was not an English teacher. In my heart she is not only an excellent English teacher. I won't forget that my right ear was hurt and I had lost my hearing for several days. I was scard and felt upset. She asked for my consent, then she took my hand and prayed for me. Her love and...

Good Samaritans Return My Amazon Misdelivered

By Renewed Faith In People on November 15, 2021 / 2,454 views

Last month, I ordered several items on Amazon, but they were delivered to the wrong address. I admit that I didn't have any hope of seeing those items again. To my surprise, this couple who were Good Samaritans delivered the items to my building. The parcels were large and heavy too. I offered to pay them for gas or buy them coffee, but they said it was no trouble, they said they were happy to...

Lost Bank Card

By Kelly on November 12, 2021 / 2,366 views

I’m soooooo very proud of my youngest son (he is 11). He and his friend found a bank card on the road and picked it up. My son said "I’m gunna give this to mum", his mate said "nah we can go buy something from the shop with it" to which my son replied "NO it’s not ours & someone might really need that back ASAP." He gave it to...

Shout Out To My Ex Husband

By Nicci on November 12, 2021 / 3,094 views

Shout out to my ex husband. It was our son's 20th birthday recently and he came over for dinner and a board game. We bought some takeaway as it was my son's favourite. Yesterday (my birthday) I noticed $100 in my account from my ex husband. I wondered if he meant it to go to my son. I messaged him to ask and he said "no that's for dinner and the rest is for...

Shout out to everyone making progress that no one recognizes because you never let anyone see your darkest moments. You've been silently winning battles and transforming yourself. Be proud of every step you're making in the right direction. Keep going because you got...

People Are Good

By Sue on November 10, 2021 / 3,504 views

I know people are good, this was a wonderful gift of love I saw this weekend at my Walmart in Lanoka Harbor, NJ. I was in my local Walmart and a family with three children was in two places in front of me in line. They had a lot of food in their cart. They had some warm clothing, like jackets and pants. I also saw a pair of winter boots on top of the bananas. This family did not have...

Heaven Is In My Heart

By Glory Fu on November 08, 2021 / 2,829 views

With my PR (permanent resident) card in hand, I was delighted to start my Canadian dream. "Life should be wonderful for me with many opportunities ahead of me." I thought. However, during my first three months in a new city, Vancouver, I was confronted with enormous obstacles and loneliness that I had never experienced before. Because of no family in Canada, I had to start from scratch on...

Passion For Learning

By Anjali Mohapatra on November 08, 2021 / 2,191 views

A long queue was spirally formed, cause of space. The young adults were trying to register their names to collect the admission form, for the next new session. The clerk was too busy in her tiring work, passing over the forms, collecting the money, writing the names etc. She just used to lift her face randomly, otherwise no time to see anybody’s face. She was very fast. After...

This kid was wearing the uniform of the school my son will be starting at next year so i pointed that out to him. When we were leaving the other kid said see you at school next year. As i was packing my car with grocerys later the...

We're All In This Together

By Marianne on November 08, 2021 / 2,306 views

I found this mobile, bank card and pension card, etc while walking my assistance dog around a local oval today. I too am a pensioner due to my mental health. I have been struggling with suicidal ideation recently, and was awaiting an appointment at hospital this afternoon for an urgent review. I knew this person would need their phone back, and how stressed they would be at the thought of replacing these...

A Wonder To Behold

By Terri D Rimmer on November 04, 2021 / 3,007 views

Sometimes I spend so much time looking for joy that it finds me. I got on the public transportation shuttle the other day to go to an appointment and as I boarded the shuttle, my heart sank as I saw six people on it - a full bus, something that I've never had to worry about. Now I was worried about making my appt. on time. What I didn't know was that all these people were going to...

Autumn Years

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 02, 2021 / 3,077 views

We are having an unusual Autumn this year here in the mountains of my home. First the Summer weather seemed to hang on forever. Its hot days stretched through September and into October. Then when the Fall like weather did arrive it really kicked the leaves into high gear. Usually here the Maples change first blessing us with their bright, beautiful reds and lovely, peaceful yellows. Then as their leaves fall...

Yard Restoration

By Barbara on November 01, 2021 / 2,094 views

I was recently the grateful and overwhelmed recipient of an act of kindness. While I was away recently some of my friends surprised me by overhauling my back yard. I had left it as irrigation needed fixing beds needed topping up, I hadn't been well early in the year, and lots of other things kept getting in the way. This all started with being called back for additional tests after my...

A Flat Tire

By Janine on November 01, 2021 / 2,377 views

Thank you to Jamie. He stopped as soon as we pulled over, to help us with the flat tire today. Lucky he did, as we didn’t have a complete jack!! He saved us a lot of time! When we offered money for his help, he refused and asked us to pay it forward! We sure...

O To A And E To O

By Jodi-Ann E. M. Morgan on October 28, 2021 / 2,933 views

I remember hearing this saying quite often, “I before E except after C”. Do you remember this? This was one of the guides that was given to us as kids to aid in the spelling of words such as believe and receive. As I’ve grown older, I have a new rule which I use as a guide to help me with life’s classroom of lessons. Can you guess what it is? I’ll give you a hint by...

A Piece Of Pizza

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 25, 2021 / 3,852 views

I can’t remember if I was nine or ten years old. I do remember that it was the last day of 4-H camp. I was looking in the mirror and checking my face for bruises. The day before for some silly reason I had gotten into a fist fight with another boy. It didn’t take long for the bigger boys to pull us apart and call it a draw, but in truth I had lost. My head was still sore from a couple of the blows...
