By Jonathan Safran Foer on February 14, 2016 / 2,618 views

"I love you" means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you even when you’re in a bad mood, or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be...

Wake-up Call

By Rick Euker on February 12, 2016 / 4,924 views

I dreamt I was standing at the pearly gates. The angelic gate keeper asked, "Who has this one inspired?" I sensed that my entry and happiness there depended on a show of hands. God stood there with his hands behind his back. Finally I realized it would be pretty hard to inspire God. Oh no!" I thought, "Am I supposed to inspire others?!" Frantically, as I looked around for hands held...

Make Your Life Sing

By Joseph J. Mazzella on February 11, 2016 / 2,630 views

I have always loved to sing. When I was a boy I sang in church, in my room, and even in my backyard. Growing up I always sang along with the songs on the radio. These days I sing in the shower. I sing when I walk my dogs. I sing when I do the dishes. My wonderful, loving, tech-savvy daughter has even downloaded music from the internet and made her old school Dad CD’s so I can sing along with all of my...

The Truth About Sensitive People

By Shannon L. Alder on February 10, 2016 / 2,096 views

Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they will end the friendship. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred...

Back in 1985 we were having a Super Bowl party at our home. My husband, Bill had invited some of the people who worked for him to the party. I was 7 months pregnant at that time.

I have to say that this might be one of...

By Azumdialu on February 08, 2016 / 2,356 views

I can't stop praising God because my life alone is a testimony. I have a wonderful relationship with him, so I always start and end my day with God.

Today is Saturday, February 6th. I remember well Saturday February 6th, 1988. This was the saddest day of my life.

Almost three years ago, I was forced to sell my beloved little dog. My kids loved her, and I loved her so much. I was heart broken, but I found a great family through an online sale site. My kids have asked about her once in a while, but I had deleted the messages long ago, and I had no idea how to find out how she was doing. Fast forward to tonight, I was watching Netflix with my kids, and I noticed that my...

A Glimpse Of His Soul

By Joseph J. Mazzella on February 05, 2016 / 5,247 views

YEEEE! The sound jarred me out of my dreams on a cold, Winter’s night. I sat up, threw aside my blankets, and fumbled for my glasses in the dark. I opened my bedroom door and saw a light coming from the bathroom. I knew then that it was my youngest son, Casey. Casey has had a severe form of Autism all of his life. He speaks only a few words and is bound by his daily routines. Small changes...

Learning From Children

By C M Reddy on February 05, 2016 / 5,319 views

Children teach many precious things for a Happy living, for which usually we adults turn a blind eye. One fine morning recently this truth has taught a great lesson for me. We in India during morning prayer offer flowers and fruits for worshipping the God. The flowers anyway we have to change every day because they wilt away soon. But the fruits we bring will run for three or four days. It is quite...

Awakening Heart

By Oneysa Mendoza on February 03, 2016 / 6,686 views

One Sunday afternoon, I was watching a talk show and this phrase caught me: "You are not hurt by the love you gave but you are hurt on how you expected to receive it." I wonder, "what pain can I sustain?" Is when I see my love ones suffering from sickness or having a terminal disease or fired from my dream job. Sometimes, when adversity comes and things is not working in the way...

Dance In The Rain

By Thirumur David Kiran on February 03, 2016 / 6,568 views

No matter what you do, life always has its storms. The way I see it, there are three things you can do: you can try to run away from the rain, you can curse the fact that it is falling on you, or you can thrill in the moment and dance in the rain! That, my friends, is truly living!" -- Thirumur David Kiran I penned these lines a few years back when I was at a very low point in my life. Nothing...
