Bitter And Sweet

By C M Reddy on December 11, 2015 / 5,066 views

Four days back there was an interesting incident occurred to remind me the fundamental truth about the human life in the airport. I was on fasting since it was Monday without having to eat anything & not to drink even a drop of water till the evening. I have gone to temple in the morning & had bananas from priest that were offered to the God. I kept carefully those two bananas wrapped up in a paper at...

I Learned Two Very Important Lessons That Day

By Neko on December 10, 2015 / 4,699 views

Way back in the day I was a hairsylist. Colors, cuts, all that jazz. It was a well known chain (that was anything but Fantastic!) so we usually had a lot of walk-in customers. People, in general, are normally pretty nice and friendly. Will engage you with small talk, which is all I did all day long, and are generally not too bad. Not this one lady though. When she came in it was weird. She was a...

Stories like this, always have a way of putting the right perspective on life. Jean Thompson stood in front of her fifth-grade class on the very first day of school in the fall and told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her pupils and said that she loved them all the same, that she would treat them all alike. And that was impossible because there in front of her, slumped in his...

Make Good Memories

My husband Bill's Grandma Z. was in a nursing home when we moved back to Michigan. Grandma had been unable to walk for quite some time; now her eye sight was almost gone. Over the years Grandma Z. and I had exchanged many cards and letters. I knew how she enjoyed staying in touch with people. Since I'd come back to Michigan, Grandma Z. thought I should be her "personal...

Tending Your Fire

By Joseph J. Mazzella on December 08, 2015 / 3,814 views

When I was a boy every summer I would spend a wonderful week at 4-H camp. It was always so much fun. Delicious meals were served in the dining hall three times a day. There were fun classes to go to in the morning and sports and swimming in the afternoon. There was a friendly competition between the four tribes for the spirit stick all through the week. And there were long nights spent lying awake, laughing,...

I Wasn't

By Ana Fe Sibor on December 08, 2015 / 3,975 views

I wasn't that child that you will say; she's going to excel in this. I wasn't that kind of a person who got the best records and grades while I was on school, I wasn't that girl who's on the first section. I'll tell you who I was back then. I am that child who dream and aim big, I am that girl who have a bigger vision that sometimes scares me, I am that girl who close her eyes and see...

Fran's Silent Night

By Kay on December 07, 2015 / 2,038 views

I will never hear "Silent Night" and not think of Fran*. No matter where Fran was you could always hear her humming the first two bars of "Silent Night." To be honest, this constant humming of only the first two bars of this beautiful carol, could be quite annoying. Knowing that Fran had Alzheimer's helped me forgive her repetitive humming. However, the other patients living at the...

The Naked Truth

By Amanda Chouinard on December 07, 2015 / 1,512 views

Have you ever walked by someone, and felt a twinge of insecurity or jealousy? You look at them and believe their looks or life is better than yours? Just remember, looks can be deceiving! Perhaps you snubbed them believing you are better than them physically or financially? My story starts 18 years ago. While growing up, I loved fashion and modelling. I had the dream to be a fashion designer. Those...

Love Unconditionally

By C M Reddy on December 06, 2015 / 1,446 views

Sometimes it is very difficult to turn others toward us whom we love more than anything in this world. We crave for their attention & love, but they can't reciprocate as we do. We can earn money, have a palatial house to live in, get all the fabulous material things in the world and lead a luxurious lifestyle by our talent, discipline and hard work but we cannot make others to love us in the...

Christmas Prayer

By Kay on December 06, 2015 / 4,071 views

As we slowly drove down the street on that cold December evening we spotted the porch light. "This must be the house." I told our "Positive Teens In Action" group. We pulled up in front of an older home with the porch light glowing. We gathered up our song books, walked up the steps, and knocked on the door. We heard a faint voice from inside say, “Come on in....

Be A Person Of Your Own Choice

By Sonia Kaur on December 06, 2015 / 5,065 views

We are living because we want to live. We have right to be respected, we have right to be loved because we are a human being. The most important person in your life is you yourself. Be courageous to accept yourself and move forward in your life. Don't forget your own self for others. Life asks adjustments, compromises and sacrifices and everybody has to make it but life doesn't ask to forget...

A New Backpack

By Caroline on December 05, 2015 / 4,244 views

Last week one of my 11th graders told me that his backpack broke and his mom can't afford to buy him a new one until after the new year. At the beginning of class today, I quietly said to my 11th grader, "Stay with me at the end of class because I have a backpack for you." The student's whole face lit up and he said through a huge grin, "I have a backpack...

Can you believe marbles could become priceless? What do you think it would take to make them valuable? Would they have to be inlaid with gold? Do they have to be owned by royalty, or a major archaeological find? In this story, these marbles were bought at a store, and cost little to make, but to this man, all the money in the world could not replace the value of these red marbles. I was...

You

By Jayden on December 03, 2015 / 4,504 views

In times you may find yourself thinking about giving up or just quitting in general. This world NEEDS you. If God himself didn't think you would matter in this world, then why would you be here. It doesn't matter how successful you are or are going to be. It's about YOU. So, get up and make a difference in this world. Destiny's are never written. You have to make your own. You can do absolutely...

1 Corinthians 13 Christmas Version

By Kay on December 03, 2015 / 1,342 views

If I decorate my house perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shiny balls, but do not show love to my family, I'm just Another decorator. If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing gourmet meals and arranging a beautifully adorned table at mealtime, but do not show love to my family, I'm just another cook. If I work at the...

No Reason For Happiness

By Chandramouli Reddy on December 03, 2015 / 4,568 views

"Happiness is the status of our mind in a given condition". It is like any other human emotion that we undergo yet profoundly influence the human life on the earth. Ask anybody around you, for what they want to live. The ready answer is "Happiness". But everyone seek the happiness outside. When it is related to the mind activity we can emanate from...
