An Amazing Thing Happened At The Bowling Alley

By Steve on January 25, 2015 / 1,585 views

I run a bowling alley, and each week we have a group of kids from the special Olympics come in to bowl. Currently, we are renovating the lanes to make them wheelchair accessible. A customer came in and saw our efforts to make life fun for those who might need some help and paid for their next 10 sessions and food for all 10 weeks. He doesn't want recognition, he just wanted to help out a group of amazing...

The Unexpected Complement

I walked up to the big white door and knocked. I heard the door unlock and a large lady with a stern look, opened the door. "Are you here to see someone?" she asked. "Hi, my name's Kay, I'm here to see everyone," I answered in a friendly voice. There was an uneasy pause as she looked me over. Then she introduced herself as Bessie* and invited me inside. To tell you the truth I can't remember how I knew about this...

The most beautiful people I think in this world are the ones that have that unique courage to be themselves. No matter what anyone says, no matter how many laugh or mock them, they continue to be themselves even if they are alone. They don't change to get anyone to like them. They smile because they're happy and content with themselves....

Love is alwayz here if you didn't know. Well for the people that have a love one but also the people who don't have a love one. Well when you say "i love you" you don't really mean it. When somebody wants to express love we have to show it that you really love your love one. I just wish everyone can have love because if you don't have have have love you are not going to live the love. Love is like a treasure bucause...

Little Things Do Make A Difference

By Eswar on January 24, 2015 / 3,727 views

it was my birthday and like anybody would want it,I was hoping it would be special. Not special in terms of cakes and toffees. But in terms of the monotony in my life. The monotonous selfish life i was leading. At that time all I perhaps really wanted was to help somebody to make this day different from other boring days of selfishness. More than half the day got over and nothing changed. In the evening ,on my way...

My dad always made it a point to end our phone conversations with "I love you and I miss you." (I moved a few states away from home soon after I got out on my own.) When I was younger it bothered me, but I got over it. He was diagnosed with terminal dementia about ten years ago, and his health and his cognitive capacity started failing pretty quickly. Still, every time, "I love you and I miss you." "Love you and...

I Remembered My Purpose Today

By Blissful Beachbum on January 23, 2015 / 1,676 views

I knew from a very young age what one of my biggest purposes was supposed to be here on earth. I knew that I wanted to be a nurse, more specifically, a pediatric oncology nurse. I knew it in my heart without a doubt that was what I wanted to do. Over the last couple of years, it has felt absolutely impossible. Logistically, academically, & financially it just didn't seem like something that was going to happen....

Happiness Is The Object And Design Of Our Existence

Ladies... At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how “sexy” you may look. People grow old. Your hair will turn grey, your skin will sag…What doesn’t change is the beauty you have in your heart. Nothing is more beautiful than a strong, confident woman. You have the power to plot the twist to any turmoil you’re facing. Let your difficulties empower you to turn your life around. Don’t be a victim....

You Are Important

I had the grand privileged in my younger years to go into the mountains and saw down trees and cut it into firewood and distribute it to those in need. My memories of those times are precious to me and as I get older I find myself comparing life to a chainsaw. Like a chainsaw we are a great asset. We have the ability and opportunity to work hard and contribute to a worthy cause. It is necessary from time to time...

The Hug

The phone rang, it was Bea my 86 year old friend calling. Bea was wondering if I could take her to Flint to see the eye doctor. I assured her I could, so on the date of the appointment I drove over to her home to pick her up. Bea's eyesight was failing so she wasn't able to drive her car anymore. However, she still kept her old white Cadillac and insisted that I drive it whenever we went anywhere. Bea's...

You Are The Captain Of Your Journey

By David Musser on January 21, 2015 / 4,098 views

They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from man but one thing; the last of human freedoms---to choose one's own attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose ones own way. And there were always choices to make. Every day, every hour, offered the opportunity to make a decision, a decision which determined whether you would or would not submit to...

A Good Laugh

By Joseph J. Mazzella on January 20, 2015 / 4,423 views

It was a bitterly cold, Winter's morning. The snow that had started to melt the day before had frozen again. I was walking my dogs, wishing that I could teach them to use the bathroom indoors. Every breath in hurt a bit and every breath out was a cloud of frozen mist. I looked up and noticed the morning sunrise. Thin pink and purple clouds drifted across the sky. Even with the cold it looked like Heaven was smiling...

We Are So Blessed

Last night I had the grand privilege to watch, American Sniper. I am at a loss of words to appropriately describe this movie. I am so grateful for the beautiful reminder of how blessed we are to live in this The United States of America. To me this movie was far more than just a tribute to one man. It is a reminder to me that there are many of us that have never been and may never experience first hand the horror of...

We were having this farewell party for our friend in church at the beach. This beach has a fish sanctuary. I haven't thought of seeing it, I'm terrible in water and I don't even know how to bubble up. My two friends came back from watching the fishes and corals and it captured my attention. I was all this giddy-up and excited to see it too. There was this life vests and other stuffs for rent. Me and...

Can I Help You?

As I turned to go down the aisle in the grocery store I spotted him... an elderly man appearing to be lost. As I walked closer I could see a sad look in his eyes. I felt an urge to say something to him. "What should I say?" I wondered to myself. "Can I help you find something?" I heard myself saying. "Thank you, I really need some help," he answered. "Tell me what you are looking for and I'll try to...

Sometimes God Waits Until The Last Minute

By Susie Harman on January 18, 2015 / 7,042 views

It was one of those days when something just did 't feel right; felt uneasy. End of the year reports were soon due, income tax w-2's had to be done for employees, and my mind was a bit overwhelmed. As I drove to work, my prayer was to beg God for his peace that passes all understanding and his unfailing mercy. Arriving at the office, my mind was trying so hard to trust GOD to work miracles for me and put a...
