This man helps customers load groceries in their car and doesn't work for the grocery store. His name is Johnny and he is wonderful. The lot has many stores in it and it's "his job" to go to them every day and help out. Anytime we see him at the Mexican restaurant, he eats with us. Although, they give him free food for his services. We love him and want his company. He likes it...

Just Listen!

By Judith Maduhu on July 09, 2018 / 5,169 views

After long hours of waiting for my friend at the bus station, I got tired and was tempted to just leave and plan another meeting. As I was still deciding, there came a man selling culture shoes and started showing them off to me so as I could buy or something, I just smiled and said thank you. I don't know if it was the smile or what but the young-man stepped closer and stood beside me and started talking...

Miracles Happen Every Day

By Judith Maduhu on July 08, 2018 / 5,337 views

I don't know how you'll call this encounter but personally it's my small miracle. Today was a report submission day at our University, so everyone was to submit their report to the school coordinator. The coordinator is known to be a very strict man with a questionable personality (cautious about small things, harsh and incorrigible). So when a person went to collect the report, he would cross...

I said no three times at the SPCA because I’m not a cat person. She sat and purred in my lap as the lady said "How? She won't let anyone hold her!". I knew I wanted her then. Three days later my girlfriend said "she got adopted today". When I asked by who, she said "us!".  Welcome home,...

To The Father Who Walked Into My Work With His Three Kids

By A Friend on July 05, 2018 / 4,555 views

You ordered large fruit punches all around. The kids were so happy. You asked about our adobo pizza, said the kids were interested, I told you you wouldn't regret it. The little one asked for a mini adobo fried rice omelette. You said whatever she wants. I asked if anyone wanted anything else. The big kid wanted the lechon sisig cheese fries. You said before anything else, what was my total at....

I started my dream job one month ago after a three-year job search, and it’s been wonderful but challenging and stressful at times. One of the higher ups left this card on my desk today. It made my...

Boy Gets Free Ice Cream After Saving This Man's Life

By Sipley Whackerman on July 01, 2018 / 4,182 views

I was biking home from school one day and the ice cream truck is where it normally is and I always go and get an ice cream, but I was worried that something was wrong when I saw a huge line of people waiting in line and the man wasn't serving anyone. I went and had a closer look and I saw that the man had fainted inside of the van. I didn't know what to do but I remembered my first aid training so I...

My World

By Jack on July 01, 2018 / 4,488 views

I know this looks meaningless but to me it's my world. My wife & daughter sleeping with their feet on me, on our couch in our home. 421 days ago I was in active addiction, homeless, putting my family through a living hell. This is my recovery: peace &...

I am 18 and I study at an alternative school in Australia. Part of it is employment, and part of it is getting our year 12's. I have finally got an employment opportunity from it and my teacher has helped me so much. Its been a while, but finally it happened. And he took me to the op shop to buy me a new shirt I could wear to an interview. The day of the interview, I turned up in my...

A Simple Act Of Kindness

By Estella on June 28, 2018 / 4,939 views

Late this evening, I got a ride to the local grocery store. After loading up my cart and checking out, my phone dies right as I'm about to confirm my uber. No portable charger on me (none sold in the grocery store) , no friends nearby, I don't know the way back (and even if I did, walking alone, at night, as a female, in Cleveland, is not a good idea). I of course had a panic attack. So this post is a...

Heroes At The Beach

By Nina on June 26, 2018 / 4,426 views

What an incredible day at the beach! Not because it was the most fabulous weather. Not because we were with fabulous friends. No, it was the best day because a group of Men and a young boys took the time to notice a little boy with Different abilities, waving his arms in the air saying, my turn, me, me as the football was being tossed around over his head. Honestly, my first thought was oh man they are playing...

An Amazing Experience My Family Had Today

By Cambria Smith on June 26, 2018 / 4,219 views

There is so much hate in the world that I have to share this amazing experience my family had today. As a transracial adoptive family we get lots of looks and comments both good and bad. Well today we were in the middle of nowhere aka Four Corners when a couple told us how beautiful our family was. This couple happened to be African-American and they continued to talk about...

Adjustments

By Sonia Kaur on June 25, 2018 / 3,723 views

The word 'adjustment' seems very weird but please believe me adjustment is the key of happiness. Always make your point, just think about yourself, being selfish etc. Being selfish is good for a moment, but being selfish means making distance with everybody, with friends, family. Being selfish means hurting others unnecessary. Adjustments means you truly love a person or your family. Non...

Hitchhiking In New Zealand

By A Friend on June 25, 2018 / 3,103 views

I was hitchhiking in New Zealand. I obviously wanted to get from one city to another but didn't quite make it. Went with 3 different cars and only went like 50 minutes worth of driving in total (2 1/2 hour drive in total). After the the third car let me out I went to the main road leading out of town and held up my sign again. It started raining and after about 15 minutes a car pulled up and I already...

After bad storms, this retired old man goes around our neighborhood and cleans the debris out of yards and catch basins. When I asked him why he said "because I am retired and have the time to help." 10/10 great...

Caterpillars

By Alley on June 21, 2018 / 4,198 views

I was just reading a story about a woman who was stressed about Caterpillars in her trees. I wish I had those problems. As a struggling single mom who lives in Los Angeles, my minimum work weeks are 60 hours just to put food on the table, my car was just demolished my a stranger in a parking lot who did not leave a note on my 19 year old car that is barely drivable and my home is falling apart (I need new...

Badly Needed Glasses

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 20, 2018 / 4,131 views

Beep! Beep! Beep! My arm swung over to my dresser and grabbed the alarm clock that had awakened me. I shut it off and pulled it to my face to see the hands pointing to 6 O’clock. Slowly I reached over and put it back down. I threw my covers off and swung my legs out of bed. I stepped over my still snoring beagle and stumbled into the bathroom. Then after I was done I walked back into the bedroom and...
