The Face In The Mirror

By Joseph J. Mazzella on January 20, 2017 / 3,705 views

Bend! Push! Lift! Toss! Bend! Push! Lift! Toss! I was slowly shoveling out my driveways, porches, and pathways from five inches of freshly fallen snow. My new snow shovel was working well but my body was feeling its fifty years and my bad back was feeling more like eighty. Still, I had shoveled out from deeper snows than this before, so I kept at it. I breathed in the frosty air and hummed a few songs as I...

A homeless man lay in the entryway of our church, reading the newspaper. I sat down next to him and asked if he wanted to join me for the service. 'This is my third Mass today,' he said, 'I'll stay out here. The music, it heals me.' I asked what needed healing. He pulled up his pant cuff & revealed the skin on his legs, which looked like cracked leather, battered...

Calm After The Storm

By Kay Heitsch on January 17, 2017 / 4,525 views

Awe, peace and quiet! The calm after the storm. Yesterday I was enjoying being outside shoveling snow. Then the wind picked up and the freezing rain started to come down. I hurried into the house to find we had no power. The wind was blowing so hard that it blew our big trash can from behind the house out into the driveway. Today the wind has calmed down and the sun has started to shine....

God Is Never Late

By Mark Cookson on January 16, 2017 / 1,707 views

In 1985 I volunteered for an outreach program to be sent out for a year with a biblical research ministry to share with people about God and teach the Word of God. I was sent to Canton, Ohio and during my time there met a woman sitting under a tree reading a book in the park. Like someone once did for me, I shared with her about God's love and how important her life was to Him and invited her to a bible...

A Humble Show

In a street accident, a woman tried to help the victims but suddenly a nurse came and said… ‘'Miss, excuse me! I am a nurse and I can do it better. Step back.. I’ve had a course in first aid and I’m trained in giving first aid and CPR.'’ The woman stepped aside and watched the procedure and said, '‘If you need a doctor, I’m just behind...

Just Having A Good Day

By Anonymous on January 13, 2017 / 5,821 views

I'm just sitting here in my room today, listening to music while it rains outside my window, and I can't stop thinking about how happy I am and how great my life is. There's nothing particularly special about it - I'm not rich or famous, I'm not exceptionally talented, and I don't do anything particularly fabulous for a living. But I feel somewhat organized, I have a clean room and a...

FINALLY Have A New Job, And It's All Because I Was Nice To The Valet Guy

By Anonymous on January 12, 2017 / 5,005 views

I've been job hunting for about eight months. A few weeks ago I went to an interview and handed off my car to the valet guy. As I was waiting for the elevator I heard him tell his coworker that he would kill for a coffee, so after my interview I stopped at the cafe in the lobby and grabbed one for him. He was super grateful and asked for my business card. I gave it to him, thinking maybe he wanted to send...

Divine Intervention

Yesterday at Planet Fitness I sat down on a machine next to a new member. Right away he started to talk to me. He asked, "Do you believe in God?" I assured him I did. He went on to say he wanted to share something that had happened to him. Here's his story. George* said he was home alone and was about to get into bed. He had the TV on. As he was sitting on the edge of the bed he felt...

15+ Strangers Helped Me Dig Through The Sand While Racing The Clock Against Sunset

I was on vacation in Hawaii with my family. We were at the beach all day and at some point I took off my ring I got as a gift from my mom for graduation (beautiful, gold, inscribed, full of sentimental value) and placed it in the cup holder of a foldable chair. Beach day continues, and we pack up and go home. Once home, I realize what I've done. I realize my ring isn't on my finger. Panic ensues. You...

I was lying in bed trying to work my way through a new book that I’d recently bought. The wording was difficult to read. The plot was incomprehensible. The meaning was struggling to say in two hundred pages what could easily have been said it two. After yet another difficult page I shut the book and closed my eyes. Suddenly, I felt the book being gently pushed down. I opened my eyes and saw a white,...
