Sharing Smiles

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 16, 2013 / 2,988 views

I walked outside just as the sun was coming up over the mountains this morning. It was such a glorious sight. The whole world seemed to awaken with it. The golden light made the green grass glow. The birds stirred in their nests and began to sing. A lone Monarch butterfly fluttered by my face. I could feel the love of God filling His creation and my soul as well. As I stood there taking in the beauty of the sunrise...

Every lady deserves a surprise on any given day. Just a simple "You're beautiful" or even a rose... but the truth is... it really brightens up their day. We went out yesterday and randomly gave 20 roses to complete strangers... and you know what? All of their faces lit up with happiness and their days were made. ...

My Old Dorm Room

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 09, 2013 / 4,265 views

My old college dorm room was very Spartan by today's standards. It had no computer, no cell phone, and no television. The furniture was two plain desks, two hard desk chairs, and two lumpy bunk beds. The heater never kept the room warm enough in the Winter either. I can still remember sitting and shivering in one of those hard chairs, struggling to read and understand Shakespeare with my half frozen feet buried...

How Baby Pigs Saved A Depressed Tiger

By Chris on July 07, 2013 / 58,364 views

A mother tiger lost her cubs due to premature labor. Shortly after, she became very depressed and her health began to decline. She was later diagnosed with depression. Since tigers are endangered, every effort was made to secure her health. Zoologists came up with the idea to wrap five piglets up in a tiger-print cloth, and present them to the mother tiger. She now loves these piglets and treats them like her...

Fireflies In The Moonlight

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 02, 2013 / 8,395 views

It was the so called "Super Moon" evening the other night. That is when the moon is at its closest and brightest point. I decided to take a break from the book I was reading and go out to gaze upon it for awhile. A gentle rain was falling as I stepped out into my yard and looked up at the sky. At first I thought the rain clouds would ruin my view, but it wasn't long before they parted right where the giant moon was...

Life Is Simple

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 24, 2013 / 5,219 views

My first born son is mentally handicapped, yet in so many ways he is far wiser than I am. He has an intuitive knowledge of what is important in life. When we go out he looks people in the eye, calls them by name, and shares his smile far more easily than I do. He goes through life with a soul full of love, joy, and kindness that he gives to everyone he meets. He makes others feel better. He makes each day shine...

The Most You Can Do

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 17, 2013 / 13,890 views

The Summer of my eleventh year was a wonderful time of joy and innocence. My days were spent riding my bike, walking in the bright green woods around my home, swimming in the crystal clear river that ran by my house, playing in fields full of wild flowers, and looking up at the clouds. I wished those lazy, peaceful days would last forever. But then it all changed. It happened in the middle of the night when I...

Tolstoy's Bear

By Curt Struna on June 16, 2013 / 9,045 views

The author Leo Tolstoy wrote a short story about a bear hunting trip. In this story, he went with hunters to where they found signs that bears were in the area. They proceeded to stake a piece of meat to the ground under a tree. They then suspended a very large log to a limb on the tree, so that the limb was hanging only one foot over the piece of meat. The hunters then hid nearby and waited. Eventually a bear...

Sparkling Brown Eyes

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 11, 2013 / 8,074 views

I was in a local grocery store the other day sorting through some bananas, when suddenly I heard, "Daddy!" and simultaneously felt two tiny arms wrap around my right leg. I looked down to see a lovely little girl no more than three years old looking up at me. She wore a flowered dress and had shoulder length black hair. Her smile gleamed with newly grown teeth. The most beautiful thing about her, however, were her...

One day Buddha was walking through a village. An angry and rude man came toward him and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching others!" he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake." Buddha was not upset by these insults. He just smiled. The man insulted him over and over but the only reaction he could get back from the Buddha was a smile and silence. Finally, the rude man...

Four Leaf Clovers

By Curt Struna on June 07, 2013 / 1,952 views

Four Leaf Clovers I was at a picnic and saw a woman who seemed to be looking for something in the grass. Every few minutes she would pick out a four-leaf clover. I asked her, “How are you finding so many?” She said, “I just know that they’re there.” Some of the people that had been standing nearby sat down and began to search. Most of them didn’t find any, but some were finding them steadily. I...

Two Faces

I got my second picture of the little girl that I sponsor overseas the other day. It made me smile from ear to ear when I saw it. Over the years I have sponsored several children through the organization, Children International and I have always been amazed at the difference between the first picture I get and the second. In the first picture I am always shocked by what I see. There is a gauntness in their...

It Will Be Alright

It Will Be Alright There are times when we need to be told that everything is going to be alright. Life is hard and there are times when you will feel like giving up. Don’t. It will be alright. It may not be the same, it may not be what you expected, it may hurt, but you will be alright. I’ve seen trouble in my life. There were times when I thought I couldn’t go on. But I know that I’m not...
