A Moment Of Thanksgiving

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 13, 2018 / 4,926 views

It was 28 years ago. I was a young dad with two babies under three. My Mom and Dad had invited us to their home for Thanksgiving dinner. Their tiny house was packed. There was my wife, myself, and our babies. My two brothers were also there with their families as well. The kitchen table was full and people were eating on TV trays and with plates in their laps. We eased around each other so as not to spill our...

A Stranger Just Bought My Dinner

By A Friend on November 12, 2018 / 3,464 views

As I type this I'm sitting in a Chinese buffet. When I sat down I patted my pocket and realized I forgot my wallet. I told the waitress as I started to get up to leave, and the guy at the table next to me said, don't worry about it and he gave the waitress a $20. I tried to decline but he just said "pay it...

When A Child Prays

By Marilyn S. Lucero on November 11, 2018 / 3,138 views

It is with a heavy heart to come up with this decision. I have to do this for now or else I would end up giving myself to emotional devastation. I have become so tired. Tired of running so hard to make both ends meet. Tired of thinking what more could I do in a faster way. Tired of always making the impossible. I have painfully decided to let my kids move to another school with a much cheaper rate...

Signs Of The Star

By Maite Dela Luz on November 11, 2018 / 2,657 views

One of my best chilhood memories with siblings was spending many wonderful nights gazing at the sky. We enjoyed the view of the amazing gathering of bright celestial objects above. When everybody's settled and ready, the search for the brightest and biggest star began. As we looked up towards its horizon, before even we could find the brightest and the biggest, we began noticing patterns among...

Blessing In Disguise

By Maite Dela Luz on November 10, 2018 / 3,385 views

Never did I imagine I would land into a place that I used to hate the most. I could only remember those times when all my plans were set for my american dreams. But God I guess must have been teaching me something, something that I could always value throughout my life. My coming here in Saudi Arabia (KSA) turned to be a blessing in disguise. I have learned many things about life: its significance,...

Big Sister

By Sarah on November 10, 2018 / 2,583 views

My fiancee has two younger sisters. I am the youngest of five children, and thus have never had the experience of younger siblings. Lately his sisters (who are both teenagers) have been coming to me to ask for advice. It makes me feel really cool and important, but also a little bit scared that I could be telling them the wrong thing. We come from different religious backgrounds, and I haven't been a...

Beyond The Reach!

Long ago, a man with his family shifted from his village to live in a town. He started his business over there. In due course of time with the God’s grace, his business increased time to time. He was quite happy thinking of taking a good decision of shifting from village to town. The best part of the man was, he was very much devoted to his father who was an old man. He lost his mother when he was a...

I've Never Felt More Loved In My Life

By Peach on November 07, 2018 / 3,550 views

My dog was sitting by my parents quietly begging for their dinner. I called her seeing if she wanted to come upstairs with me but she didn’t even take her eyes off the food. I got the hint and went up to my room. A few seconds later she pushed open my bedroom door and came walking in. She picked me over the slight chance of food falling to the...

My Wicked Heart

By Marilyn S. Lucero on November 07, 2018 / 2,980 views

I watched them with a heavy heart as they left until they slowly disappeared. It was such a heart-wrenching sight! While I would be taking a convenient ride home, he would be trudging on foot along the highway, crossing several busy streets and down the rough and muddy road towards home. It would not be an enjoyable strides and a light walk but a difficult and heavy one. He would be pushing papa in his...

Enough

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 06, 2018 / 3,708 views

In the summer of my eleventh year the home I had grown up in burned to the ground in the middle of the night. Thankfully, my Mom, Dad, Nana, brothers, and I escaped along with our dogs. Yet, we had nothing but the night clothes we were sleeping in. I spent the rest of that night with friends of our family trying unsuccessfully to sleep in a bed in their attic. I was too scared to doze off, though. I...

It's The Little Things In Life

By A Friend on November 05, 2018 / 3,237 views

At my school, a random animal likes to show up occasionally. This time it was a stray cat. The school left it at first, and some people petted it and stuff. One day, we had an assembly in which they said anyone seen feeding the cat or petting it will get a detention. People started leaving the cat for a few days, and it started to die. This one man who works at out school as a security guard at the...

Love Is Meant To Be Failed

By Sonia Kaur on November 01, 2018 / 3,610 views

Love is meant to be failed! Why? Why love is meant to be failed? Have you ever thought about this? May be yes or may be no. OK, what I have thought about this is, why our love fails? Whenever we fall in love we forget everything. Yes everything, even our own self as well. This is the one of the main reasons for life failure. Now you must be thinking how? Everything is important in our...

Lucky Break

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 31, 2018 / 2,854 views

KA CLANG! KA CLANG! KA CLANG! The old bell was ringing calling us to breakfast at 4-H camp. Several of us, however, weren't paying attention. It was the last day of camp and we were engaging in a tradition passed down for years. We were supposed to have stripped the sheets off of our beds in our cabins, stuff them into our pillow cases, and return them to the office before breakfast. Pillow...

This stranger heard we were planning for my daughter's fifth birthday, and volunteered to drop off and set up a commercial bouncy house (that the kids loved) and he wouldn't take a cent in payment or let us help. He just told us to pay it forward. I was blown away by his generosity and it was a lot of work to set up and pack away and he just said he likes knowing that kids had...

I've always had issues with gadgets (not anymore coz God delt with it...),whenever I get a phone or a laptop it either stops working or just somebody steals it,just like that. My friends used to wonder a lot and feel sorry for me,some even mocked me that I should go and bath seven times in the river Jordan. But I've learnt over the years not to sweat the small stuff,that God got me and He knows what I...
