Be Kind Anyway

By Kay Heitsch on December 02, 2019 / 3,165 views

For many years I was treated in a very unkind way. I was not only talked about behind my back but I was spoken to in an unkind manner to my face. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to this. There came a time when I had the opportunity to help this person out. For some reason, much to my surprise, I chose to be kind and help. My action to show love and help not only surprised me, but it...

My 2 daughters had a swimming gala and finished school early that day. So I went to get them a treat on the way home. I got to the till and as I was trying to pay my bill, my mobile wallet started acting up on me. So I moved to the side to allow the person behind me to be served. Then the till operator said I was free to with my stuff, the person behind me had paid my...

Flying home on Southwest Airlines tonight and the flight attendant announced a young girl was celebrating her 8th birthday. They asked all the rows to push the call lights and we all sang Happy Birthday. Then asked her to make a wish and on the count of 3 blow out the "candle lights" and we all turned them off at the same time. Love their creativity and attention to...

There was once a carpenter who hated his job. After 10 years of working for the same company, he decided to quit. However, after 10 years of working together, his boss wanted help with one final job before he left the team. He asked him to build one final house. The carpenter reluctantly agreed. He spent the whole summer building this house... but his...

I Love When My Cat Meows

By A Friend on November 21, 2019 / 2,295 views

He meows a lot to communicate with me. He'd randomly walk into my room, greet me, then lay down right next to my desk and sleep. Now he slept there the past few hours and I got the urge to pet him... when I did he let out a cute soft meow, he didn't even bother opening his eyes. This small little thing made me feel so much better. It may sound stupid but I felt less alone? Haven't been doing great...

I’m on the road a lot for my job and is see a lot of accidents, wrecks, flipped cars..etc. Today I’m heading to a fairly remote town and to get there I have to take a fairly busy highway that has a lot of blind curves and hills. So I’m making my way around a curve and down a hill when I see the car in my lane swerve into the other lane (something large was in the middle of our...

My 60 Second Mentality

By A Friend on November 18, 2019 / 3,044 views

I had a really tough childhood. I was abused physically, mentally, and sexually. I never stayed at any school more than a few months and i had a major brain surgery what resulted in an infection that permanently effected my memory in the short term area. I never like to look back at my past next it upsets me. So I always looked WAY into the future and just saw what I could be! I never looked at the...

I Finally Sang With My Husband In The Car And Now We're Both Crying

By A Friend on November 18, 2019 / 2,476 views

I love singing, I always have, but I was teased for being a woman with a really deep voice. I wasn't allowed in choir as a kid and never sang with anyone near by. I sing in the car if I'm alone and when I'm home alone, my husband knows this, but I've never felt comfortable before. He's always wanted to hear me sing. Today we were driving and it's beautiful out. I got a bit...

The Peaceful God

By Ndivhuwo Madzivhandila on November 18, 2019 / 2,982 views

Some time ago I slept peacefully, until I had a dream of darkness telling me that I will never ever succeed in life, but the powerful voice of God came out through me responding.. "whatever words you saying is because you are of darkness and there's no christ within you". The darkness just got lost and I had to woke up and came to my senses telling myself that was not my voice but God's voice...

I'm So Happy I Am Fortunate Enough To Be Able To Help Out A Co-worker

By A Friend on November 14, 2019 / 2,674 views

I recently bought a "new" car for me. It's a used Subaru, I spent around 6k on it. My old car is an 06 Nissan Sentra, it is in okay condition, with about 70k miles on it.  A dealership offered $1,500 for it on trade in.  I have a co-worker, he is a great worker. He is struggling to get by, and has been looking at used cars, so I asked him how much he was looking to...

After 24 Years Of Hell, I Finally Want To Live

By A Friend on November 14, 2019 / 2,947 views

If this helps just one person it will be worth it. I've been depressed my entire life. I remember being 6 years old and wishing I could just be gone. I grew up in a physically, emotionally, and verbally abusive household and until now, it has stunted me greatly. Professionally I have always excelled with ease, but I had low self esteem which I tried to cover up by doing everything I could to...

I Saw A Stranger With A Blanket I Made Yesterday

By A Friend on November 11, 2019 / 3,038 views

Last year I was able to do a nice thing for some community members. I was homeless and made a poor flipping decision on polar fleece (flipping - buying and selling as side income). Essentially, shipping costs would have killed any margin and local wasn't working. So I took the downtime I had at a night job and made double fleece no sew tie blankets and handed them out to fellow homeless people...

Learning To Trust

By Kay Heitsch on November 05, 2019 / 3,392 views

Over the years our family has experienced some very good times and we've had some very tough times too. It's been during the tough times I've witnessed the Lord working and I've learned to trust. One particular day during a tough time I had a phone call that someone had died. I needed to make several long-distance phone calls to let other people know. This was going to be expensive...

Exercise Your Soul

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 04, 2019 / 3,659 views

Almost every morning for the last 25 years I have exercised my body. It is nothing too strenuous. It is just a light workout to maintain my health. I don’t do it to look good or to compete in some sport. I just do it because I want to live longer and feel better. I am sure many of you do the same. Our bodies aren’t the only part of us that needs exercise, however. There is a far more...

My morning started out normally. I snoozed twice, took care of my three cats, hurried to complete chores while gulping down lukewarm coffee, and then raced out the door for my mid-morning appointment. By the time I finished my appointment, I was starving. I stopped at Moe’s Southwest Grill to order a burrito to take home and eat while working. Since it was a little before noon,...

Shout Out To The Printer Who Helped Me Out With My Mom's Funeral Program This Week

By A Friend on October 29, 2019 / 2,336 views

My mom passed away about 5 weeks ago...we're having a service for her this weekend. I wanted to make a program for the funeral that had details of her life, photos and some graphics. I wanted it to fold in half like a greeting card so that meant one of the panels had to be flipped upside down...the entire program was really difficult to make, I was extremely distraught the entire time so I...
