Matthew worked this evening and a homeless gentlemen walked in the restaurant with .50 cents and asked if there was anything on the menu he could buy.

So Matthew rung him up for a hearty meal and then used his own debit card to pay for the mans meal. He handed him the receipt and told him to relax and take...

My dad's favorite acronym is FAMILY: Forget About Me, I Love You. He quoted it all the time about how we choose to put others first to make our family successful. He is now nearing stage seven Alzheimers, and has progressed rapidly over the past two years. He no longer knows who I am or that I am his daughter. Three years ago, when my youngest son Alexander was born, he headed to the...

Life is full to overflowing with miracles if you only open your heart to see them. I saw another one just the other day. I had been running errands all morning and was about to head home. The morning heat, though, felt more like a Summer afternoon than a Spring morning and my mouth was parched. I decided then to stop by a local convenience store to get something to drink first. As I walked in I...

By Sami on June 16, 2016 / 4,788 views

Mama was in a nursing home a victim of Alzhelmer's. I remember a time before the Alzheimer's had taken a firm grip on Mama's mind when she told me that she ask two things of God. One,that he would take her before she forgot any of her children and two, that she would go before losing a child. Mama did pretty well in the nursing home, enjoying activities and even being given little jobs...

Divine Love

God's love is true love. Saint Augustine says the only one who can love you truly and fully is God, because love with a human only allows for flaws such as “jealousy, suspicion, fear, anger, and contention.” Divine love is not demanding. It is a beautiful feeling which completes you accept you as you are without any complaint. When you feel the same love for god you feel...

A few years ago, my sister passed this letter on to me. It was a type-written copy. I did research to discover whether or not it is actually a letter or if it was written to make a point, but I found nothing. According to the sparse background information that was on the copy, the young man who supposedly wrote it fought in the Korean War. It is a letter to his former school teacher, who was a nun. Whether it...

By Hakubaikou on June 15, 2016 / 3,818 views

I just felt like the world should share in a little piece of this amazing lady who I'm blessed to call my granny. She held his hand as he died peaceully, and cracked jokes with him during his final hours about how she always ended up being his personal heater. She grinned at the funeral with dry eyes, applauding every eulogy, in a new outfit she'd bought for herself for the occasion. Then they played...

Time For Hugs

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 14, 2016 / 3,773 views

After all of these years I can still remember the first time I placed my newborn baby son into my Grandmother’s arms. Nana by that time was 77 years old and needed a walker to get around her tiny home. Yet, the second I came in the door she stretched her arms out to me for a hug and kissed me. When she had settled into her favorite chair I placed my son into her arms and watched her rock him gently while...

I don't know if most of you have heard, but Christina Grimmie has died at the age of 22. It is tragic and my condolences go out to her family. Nobody saw this coming and why would they? She was young and had a whole life left to live, but she didn't get to live it. That's the way life is, it can all be taken away from you in an instant and you'll never see it coming. Now, most people will think...

The Guilt

By Cloe Mendoza Gerona on June 11, 2016 / 3,399 views

I was broken hearted that time when my whole demeanor changed. I was being nasty to any guy I encountered with. They branded me some bad words, but I don't even care that time because I was generalizing every guy I met. I am thinking that all of them are the same and that they will hurt me. I assume that all of them are like the guy who once I loved but broke me into pieces. I was blinded by the hurt and...

Unwell

There are times when you feel lost and somehow you wanted to just vanish. Times that you don't want to get up to bed and you don't want to eat and you don't care about the surroundings and you don't want to deal with life and you just wanted to perish. It is just so funny how you feigned so much attention of being okay, but deep inside you are wholly broken. You tried to paint a smile on your...

Love Is God's Beautiful Gift

By Sonia Kaur on June 11, 2016 / 6,875 views

Love cannot be explained. It is a feeling which connects everybody. A family lives together because of love in them. Gardner look after the plants because of love, a man earns money for his family because of love, a mother gives birth to a child after bearing so much pain and raises his children because of love and moreover this is the love which connects two persons even if they are living miles apart. If...

No matter who you are, what you look like, or what you share with the world, there will always be someone who doesn’t approve of you. You are who you are, and you’re enough. It isn’t your job to conform to their idea of what constitutes a "worthwhile" human being. Instead of focusing on all of the people who don’t approve of you, try to take some time today to remind yourself...
