A Moment Of Kindness

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 25, 2014 / 2,512 views

After all of these years I can still remember my first moment of kindness. It was the first day of Kindergarten. I walked in with my mom and was amazed at all the toys against the walls. It was like having my own tiny, toy store. I smiled and immediately ran over to them and started to play. Most of the other kids were doing the same while the parents talked to the teacher before the start of class. In the corner,...

Feeding My Dad

3 years ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, not really familiar with it or didn’t think that this would concern me at that time, since dad seemed okay, he was starting to forget a bit but nothing critical, he was still going to work and everything seemed fine…today after 3 years, no one would have imagined we could get to this stage, my dad is at home, he can’t work anymore or perform anything , he...

A Piece Of Bread

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 19, 2014 / 16,739 views

I was sitting in my car in a convenience store parking lot nibbling on a biscuit that I had bought for lunch. The morning had been busy and full of errands and the afternoon looked like it would be even busier still. It was one of those days that we often get in modern life with too much to do and too little time to do it. I had decided to take a five minute break then and eat my biscuit slowly instead of...

Cancer Won't Take My Dad

By Whatkatetoldme.com on June 18, 2014 / 7,141 views

Cancer can take a lot of things. It can take your hope, your strength, or your belief in good. It can take your hair. Cancer, melanoma to be specific, took some of the skin on my father’s back. Later, cancer would take half of my dad’s thyroid, then the whole thing. Cancer came a third time to take a patch of skin on the side of his head. But cancer is malicious and selfish. Cancer just came a fourth time to...

The Quest To Find My Teacher

By Jim Mitchell on June 16, 2014 / 5,625 views

“The sick and dying are your teachers.” What a strange comment from Chaplain McLaughlin to say at our monthly hospital team meeting. My mind chewed on this, but I just couldn’t digest it. Now Chaplain hadn’t been one to say anything off the cuff. Her true purpose at meetings was to guide us volunteers closer to spiritual communion and away from being earth bound. This comment called for a movement on my...

My 3 Roses

It has been 2 weeks since the so called’ love of my life’ broke up with me, devastated again for the countless times, I really can’t keep track anymore….you would think that I should have been tougher with all the love failures I’ve been through, but no, every time it hurts even more, as if Life isn’t yet tired of messing with my glimpses of happiness… I am a believer in general; however I don’t...

She Was Dead, But What Happened Next Blew Me Away!

By Tyrie Collinsdale on June 15, 2014 / 9,366 views

Rabbits die all the time. But sometimes, miracles happen. Nadia is a fourteen-year-old girl from Colorado. On Saturday morning of June 14th, her cats were sitting next to two of their families' cars. She went down to investigate, to find a rabbit lying on the ground, breathing heavily and apparently dying. while she watched, the rabbit slowly slipped away over the course of fifteen minutes. Not quite sure the...

A Vision Of Steve's Bike

By Mary Nella McLaughlin on June 12, 2014 / 8,976 views

After meeting a man outside of a church one day, we set up regular times to study the Bible together. He seemed like he needed a friend. He always sat alone outside before the service smoking, and sat by himself in the church. His clothes were clean, but he had a certain look to him that might have scared a few off. His beard almost reached his belt buckle and his hair was swept back in a long ponytail. In...

Julie

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 12, 2014 / 2,749 views

The day we brought Julie home I knew that we were in for quite a ride. She was more than just a dog. She was a Pekinese-Poodle with personality to spare. Always the smallest dog in the house, she didn't let that stop her from trying to run the show. She made me laugh the way she would stroll up to the dog food bowl and bark away a dog ten times her size. She never once begged, but she wasn't afraid to ask for...

LOVEbird

By Jodi-Ann E.M. Morgan on June 08, 2014 / 5,489 views

During the last couple of weeks I have read two tear-jerking stories regarding birds. I have always loved looking at birds that can take flight, do so to the parts of the world I suppose I could only dream of. If there is one thing I wish I could do, it is to fly. Big or small I look at these animals as magnificent creatures. Unfortunately, even these lovely animals at times cannot escape the harsh weathers of life....

Angels On Earth

By Kat on June 07, 2014 / 10,023 views

Do you ever get that feeling that you saw an angel? My story starts with a lady named Mary. She would come into my place of work and she was very sweet. I must admit I didn't know her well and I had only exchanged a few words with her in the past. One day she opened up to me about how her mother had passed and how much she missed her. She also shared with me that her brother had committed suicide and she was worried...

The day we rescued our dog he knew we saved his life. He was so thankful and happy. When getting a pet please consider saving a life by going to the animal shelters....

Four Ice Cream Cones

By Mary Nella McLaughlin on June 05, 2014 / 4,516 views

16 year old Marrissa and I went out for ice cream after the service. We had just heard a challenging message on meals that count. A meal that counts is when you invite someone to eat with you that you don’t know or have as a guest someone who needs a meal and friendship. We were mulling this over as we drove to 31 Flavors. We passed a young man standing by himself in front of the door. Marrissa nudged me,...

Interesting Travels

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 05, 2014 / 1,941 views

The curvy, rugged roads here in the mountains of my home can make for some very interesting travels at times. In the last few weeks I have had my nostrils stung when the smell of a squashed skunk got sucked through the open windows of my car. I have screeched to a stop to let a group of whitetail deer cross the road. I have swerved to miss a wandering dog who was paying more attention to his nose than his eyes. I...

WHAT NEXT? SING

By LINDA BOYLAN on June 05, 2014 / 5,077 views

Her frame is small but her voice is BIG. I love to open my window to listen as her words come up and over and spill into my kitchen. It’s not so much as the words she sings as it is the passion that I’m drawn to. Ten years old with lots to say but she forms her words into a song. Original tunes and lyrics flow from her with ease as I recall a little girl who used to do the exact same thing; me. Our flat...

The Perfect Guy

By Drew on June 04, 2014 / 8,829 views

I was struggling with a long distance relationship for quite some time, with no more feelings from my side, practically I was in the process of ending it, when I met this boy, yes you might wonder why I said boy because when I first saw him in the living room of my sister’s house, he seemed like a 16 year old boy, with a very cute baby face, his 16 years turned out to be 27(I was 28)… it was a set up date,...
