A Handmade Quilt

By Julie on December 20, 2021 / 2,752 views

Last week I saw a friend I hadn't seen for a while who said she had something for me. The very next day I was having breakfast at a cafe with two work colleagues and she rang me to ask if she could drop off what she had for me. It turned out to be the most exquisite hand made quilt, with encouraging Bible texts embroidered on it and a personal message. I have had a bout with breast...

Missing Package

By Riette on December 20, 2021 / 2,766 views

To this guy, THANK YOU for bringing our package that has been missing for 2 days! I’m so sorry I couldn’t answer the door to personally say thank you. I honestly don’t know how we missed the doorbell ringing. But our washing machine has been broken for a month and we needed that part to come in the mail so bad. I was horribly depressed that it was delivered to...

Have The Time Of Your 'why'

By Jodi-Ann E. M. Morgan on December 16, 2021 / 2,773 views

It was Mark Twain who said: "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." This has always resonated with me and now, more than ever, I’ve been living my life on the mission to learn what my calling is and fulfill my purpose. With that being said, I think there are two important questions that can used to supplement that statement...

Then he said it would make his Christmas. He ended up paying for it all. I had...

This Is My Driver Jacob

By Kirsty on December 14, 2021 / 3,943 views

This is my driver Jacob. He was sent to pick me up and take me three hours on a drive inland in Mexico to where I’ll be working. As we were driving he started to tell me his story. As most of you know I like to chat and I like to get to know people & their stories. He shared with me that since the pandemic he had had to change jobs and was currently spending six days a week away...

I Just Had THE Best Thing Happen To Me

By Marsha on December 14, 2021 / 2,895 views

I just had THE best thing happen to me. A man came to my door and was calling my name. He said "have you lost a wallet?" And in his hand was my wallet. I had no idea it was missing. It’d apparently slid off the top of my car into the middle of a very busy 3 lane road. He saw a car drive over it and noticed a $5 note fly out of it. He did a u-turn at the next traffic light and went...

A Blessing In Disguise

By Joseph J. Mazzella on December 14, 2021 / 2,768 views

It was the day after Thanksgiving. Gray clouds covered the sky. The air was biting. The temperature was below freezing. It was spitting snow. And the internet was out. Now I have found that having the internet out can be a pain in the butt or a blessing in disguise. I decided that day to make it the latter, work off my turkey tummy, and get a few things done. After the regular housework was done...

Proud Of My Mum

By Zoe on December 10, 2021 / 3,086 views

While my mum Andrea was out shopping with my grandma today at our local shopping centre, she noticed a lady laying down on the chairs (with her purse on her lap) in the food court. She walked past but something didn’t feel right to her so she went back. She asked the lady if she was ok and the lady said she felt a little sick. Mum told the lady that she was taking her purse off her lap so that no one...

Etsy Seller Being Awesome

By Niall on December 10, 2021 / 2,255 views

Etsy seller gave me a huge smile by being awesome. I bought the cactus bumbag/fannypack. When I opened the package and saw the mushroom design I thought they’d sent me the wrong one. The note reads: Niall, You sensational human being. Hope the bumbag makes your outfits look hella snazzy. Have...

I Corinthians Christmas Version

By Patrick on December 08, 2021 / 2,720 views

If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show love to my family, I’m just another decorator. If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing gourmet meals and arranging a beautifully adorned table at mealtime, but do not show love to my family, I’m just another cook. If I work at the...

One Kind Word

By Lee on December 06, 2021 / 3,360 views

Thank you to the young girl who complimented me on the dress I was wearing today. You made me feel amazing. I rarely wear dresses as I am self conscious of my shape no matter how hard I fight this. I ordered 2 dresses from online and wore one to the shops today. Kind words are worth so much more than the time it takes to say...

I Let A Stranger Hold My Baby Today

By Lori on December 06, 2021 / 2,618 views

I let a stranger hold my baby today. I know what you are thinking, WHY? Allow me to explain. It was after church, in the pews. The lady behind me had to be close to 70 years old. She was alone, without her family nearby. She stood among us at the front of the church-- families averaging three kids, many of which were restless and bored. Along with the kids were pairs of tired and weary parents,...

The Music Within

By Joseph J. Mazzella on December 06, 2021 / 2,765 views

I am not sure how many years ago it was. I know it was a while back because I still had a cassette player at the time. I had a lot of housework to do. I was tired of television and was in the mood for music. I pulled out one of my favorite cassettes then and put it in the player. It started to play but before long a loud squeal happened and the music stopped. I opened the player and saw the tape in the...

We're Not Alone

By A Friend on December 02, 2021 / 3,259 views

My mother died while giving birth to my little sister. I barely remember her voice. My father killed himself last year. He was an alcohollic, abusive, violent, and selfish person. My sister was already living with my aunt and I was living in my place of work. Our family had already been broken, the suicide of my father just made it official. Today I and my three work friends got fired from our jobs....

Good People Aren't A Myth

By A Friend on December 02, 2021 / 2,798 views

I was going through a rough patch several weeks back and I HATE asking for help. Both of my parents have passed away, and my twin brother has enough on his plate with a mortgage, his own bills, and a wife and three boys to support. I have been receiving disability for a few years due to a number of health issues. When dad passed he left a fair bit of money for my brother and I, but a year after he...
