Hello From Heaven

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 08, 2013 / 8,288 views

I saw my first butterfly of the Spring today. I was carrying some groceries into my house when suddenly the little lady flew right down in front of my face. She stayed there for a long time gently floating on the invisible breeze. She was so beautiful that my eyes filled with tears and my heart beat with love. Then she departed to dine on some delicious dandelions growing in the meadow behind my house. After she...

A Wet Face And A Warm Heart

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 29, 2013 / 8,319 views

I woke up with a wet face again this morning. Five minutes before my alarm clock was set to go off my little dog, Snoopy jumped on my bed and licked my face until my eyes popped open. I was startled by the slurpy wake up call but didn't have the heart to scold her. Even though my face was wet, my heart was warm with the knowledge that I was loved. There is no better feeling than being loved. Snoopy's morning...

A Simple Dog Walk

By Chris on April 26, 2013 / 10,195 views

It was a beautiful, sunny day so I decided to take my dog, Tater, out for a nice walk. It finally feels like spring now as the sun shines down onto my face and the grass is growing tall and green. Tater gets so excited when I grab her leash as she waits by the door knowing she's going outside to play. As we walked down the street, all I could think about was how Tater reminded me of my childhood. She is so...

The Hand Of God

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 23, 2013 / 9,529 views

I think that most of us go through our days here with our eyes half-closed because we so seldom see the Hand of God working in our lives. It happens in countless ways every single day. Let me give you an example. Two years ago several of the Hawaiian shirts that I love to wear had become worn and threadbare. I really wanted some new ones so I saved any extra money I had for several weeks to pay for them. Finally, I...

A Little Bit Of Heaven

Luci and I were greeted warmly by the Activities Director of the Alzheimer's Facility we visited yesterday! Luci was excited and ready to meet and say 'hello' to every resident who wanted to meet her! She leaned on several of the men's legs as they petted her. Don't know who enjoyed all of the interaction, the residents or Luci! One lady asked me, "Pleazzze, let me keep her?" "I would take good care of...

The First Flower Of Spring

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 16, 2013 / 18,921 views

I smiled when I saw the first flower of Spring the other day. A lone Blue Bonnet had popped its head through the ground and was looking around on a cool, April morning. I wasn't sure what had made it finally decide to end its long, Winter's sleep. Perhaps it had noticed that the ground around it was no longer frozen. Perhaps it had felt the warmth of the sunshine finally pushing the temperatures into the seventies....

I am a 94-year-old woman. I had concluded checking out groceries at our local neighborhood market, and putting the bags in my shopping cart. I turned to slide my credit card and saw the woman who was next in line, sliding her card into the machine. The cashier was telling her that the purchase entries were not her order.

A Hog In A Trough

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 09, 2013 / 8,998 views

When I was a boy my family used to raise hogs during the Summer to keep us fed through the Winter. As I got older it became my job to feed them everyday. My Grandma worked in the kitchen of a Summer camp across the road from us and the director let us have the leftover food scraps for the hogs. I remember lugging the huge pails of slop from the camp's kitchen, down the hill and across the wooden swinging bridge that...

Look Up

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 04, 2013 / 2,785 views

I had to get a new pair of eyeglasses recently. Stigmatism had started to mix with my nearsightedness making things a little bit blurry with my old prescription. Also I had to finally give in to another sign of my aging body and get my first pair of bifocals. It has taken me several days to get used to the new pair. While it was great seeing clearly at a distance again and wonderful being able to read a book...

His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service,...

Who We Need To Be

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 26, 2013 / 2,515 views

My Dad gave me a few of my Grandma's old photo albums the other day. When I looked through them it was like taking a step back in time. It was so incredible to see my brothers, my Mom, my Dad, and my Grandma all looking so young. And on some pages I even saw a smiling six year old boy with my face staring up at me in sweet innocence. I wondered what that boy would think if he could see what would happen to him...

It's Better To Give Than Receive

By Jon on March 21, 2013 / 3,113 views

Last night I saw a homeless man with two dogs. Normally I would just pass by without any thought. However seeing them two hungry pups made me sad. Instead of giving the man a couple of dollars, I ran into McDonalds and bought some sandwiches for the man and the pups. The man thanked me and wiped tears from his eyes. Just think about the next time you are having a bad day, things could be a lot worse. I never really...
