Why Did You Buy Me This?

By Kay Heitsch on October 17, 2017 / 3,225 views

My husband Bill likes to buy toys that our grandson Eli who's 6 can put together. Some of these toys say that they're for a 6 year old, when in reality, they are not. One particular toy Bill bought was a real challenge. There were many tiny pieces that all needed to be taken apart to even start. Bill sat down at the table and got out his little knife and was cutting them as Eli tried to...

I had already been dealing with him not paying bills etc. We didn’t have heat on in the house in the...

On the day I die a lot will happen. A lot will change. The world will be busy. On the day I die, all the important appointments I made will be left unattended. The many plans I had yet to complete will remain forever undone. The calendar that ruled so many of my days will now be irrelevant to me. All the material things I so chased and guarded...

Make Someone Happy

"When we have the opportunity to make someone happy we should do it. The world needs more of this." ~ Quotes ~ On Wednesday I was at Planet Fitness when a girl came in wearing a great looking patriotic jacket. I admire it right away, but didn't say anything. Time passed and I noticed she was about to leave. I was talking to someone and said, "Hey there's that girl in that...

The Message

By Rick on October 14, 2017 / 3,652 views

I want to share a message I got. Everything is perfect! I didn't believe everything is perfect and actually it doesn't make much sense, as many would agree, looking around at our imperfect world. I got the message while trying to stop something I thought was wrong. It was a silly thing. Fifteen older men wanted to oppose fifteen inexperienced and ill equipped small boys in a game of...

Coffee And Hot Buttered Biscuits

By Katie Lee on October 13, 2017 / 2,758 views

Two miles back down the road I smelled the freshly brewed coffee. The drive-through window lady always knew to put in three extra sugars and four creams. I could almost taste the hot buttered biscuits, as I pulled into the lot. I wondered why it was not packed. Well, it was Monday morning. I also reasoned that the sky was cloudy. It was still early. So, I waited. In the wait, I maximized the moments...

Elderly People

Wise people are very few, if we put a habit of hearing then wise people from our home to the outside world will find everywhere. The elderly are the most intelligent, they have expertise and their experience is very useful but it is very sad we don't appreciate our elderly. We ignore them who are the most valuable that is why we learn by being cheated, if we listen to our elderly wise people how much we...

Perfect Timing

By Kay Heitsch on October 11, 2017 / 2,833 views

"I don't understand, Lord! How could this be a part of Your plan for our lives?" Over and over again, these words whirled around in my mind as I drove home from work that afternoon. I couldn't believe that we were going to be moving again. "Don't you care about us, Lord?" Tears burned my eyes as they rolled down my cheeks. Down the road I could see a long line of...

Every Day Is Holy

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 10, 2017 / 2,514 views

It was late September. I was driving through a heavy fog to a store to pick up a few things. When I got there I strolled through the store looking for what I needed. I grabbed a bag of dog food for my dogs, a pack of batteries for my son, and a bite of chocolate for myself. As I turned the corner to head for the checkout register, though, I saw something that stopped me in my tracks. A two foot tall skeleton...

You'll Need To Take Him

By Kay Heitsch on October 06, 2017 / 3,954 views

The phone rang, it was the school calling. "Would you please come and pick up Brandon? He seems to be sick." What could be wrong, I wondered? I drove right over to the school and picked him up. We drove home and he went upstairs to lie down. Brandon slept for a long time, but woke up very sick. It was now quite late and nothing was open; I wasn't sure what I should do. I called my husband Bill....

A Moment Of Clarity

It was a long drive to the nursing home where my Grandmother was living, but at least twice a month I got into the car with my small children to make the trip to see her. We had already lost my Mom to cancer and I wanted them to be able to remember Nana. I wanted to be able to remember her as well, especially because she was beginning to forget me. Nana had Alzheimer’s disease. It was slowly...

Singing As We Roll Along

By Kay Heitsch on October 06, 2017 / 2,006 views

When I called the number, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I saw the ad in the phone book and it looked like something I would enjoy: "Non Medical In Home Care." The ad stated that I would be helping people, I assumed elderly, stay in their own homes. This sounded like the job for me. I love older people. I'd spent a lot of time volunteering in nursing homes. This ad said these...

At The Crossroads

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 04, 2017 / 3,432 views

When I was a young father and Autumn would spread her colorful carpet across the hills and mountains of my home, I would often load my kids into the car and embark on a Fall foliage tour. We would take the back roads and look at the leaves shining in the sunlight. There would be glittering golds, blazing reds, and outrageous oranges, sometimes all on the same tree. We would drive and stop and look and be in...
