It's Bloody Cold

By A Friend on July 03, 2024 / 2,751 views

In the freezing cold someone/people left a box of jumpers outside for whoever needs them. "It's bloody cold. Please take a jacket if you need one!" the sign...

A Lot Brighter Than You Think

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 01, 2024 / 4,945 views

I had just finished taking my dogs for their last walk of the day while darkness slowly fell over the mountains of my home. Just as I closed the door, though, a flicker of light caught my eye. I turned my head to see that a little lightening bug had flown in with us through the open door and was now frantically trying to get out again. As he flew slowly towards the door I quickly but gently closed my fingers...

I Feel Prompted To Do This

By Tilly on July 01, 2024 / 3,076 views

My hubby and I were having lunch at our local shopping centre today and as we got up to leave, he said, "I feel prompted to do this", as he walked over to an obviously new young mom and handed her $50. She tried to refuse many times but his persistence paid off. (He's a keeper 💙) It is a much greater blessing to give, than...

She Offered Her Brand New Stuffed Toy To My Daughter

By A Friend on June 28, 2024 / 3,180 views

My 2-year-old daughter had a procedure today. In recovery she was so upset and beside herself for a long time, despite the best efforts of the lovely staff. A young girl, maybe 10-12 years old who had also just had a procedure came and offered her brand new stuffed toy to my daughter to cheer her up. She fell in love with it straight away and cuddled and kissed it, and it really did cheer...

I Think Pa Needs This More Than I Do

By A Friend on June 26, 2024 / 3,615 views

Last year my son and I went to Lowe's to buy his grandpa a weed eater and a certain attachment that goes with it. Grandpa is a little older and slower than he used to be, but he does a lot for us, so we wanted to spend a little money to help make his life a little easier. As we get there, there's only ONE of the attachments left that we wanted. Well, there was a guy there getting it down for...

A Skipping Vinyl Record

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 25, 2024 / 3,978 views

It was a beautiful, Summer morning today. I took my dogs for their morning walk just as the sun was rising over the hills. The air was still cool and I laughed as I watched my dogs romp and play in the grass still wet with the morning dew. Then I did some morning chores and made myself a warm breakfast and a hot cup of coffee. I didn’t want to ruin the perfect peacefulness of the morning by turning on...

My Faith In Humanity Was Restored Yesterday!

By Jodie on June 24, 2024 / 2,718 views

My faith in humanity was restored yesterday! I accidentally left my handbag by a bench at the beach, by the time I realised (had gone for a walk with the kids and my Mum) it was gone. I thought the worst, locked my cards, rang my husband for spare keys for the car etc. Prompted by my mum I checked my messenger inbox to find ‘Sharon’ had found my bag and lived a...

There Aren't Enough 'thank-yous' In The World!

By A Friend on June 24, 2024 / 2,245 views

I have family members traveling abroad in London and France. Yesterday I woke to a message that a family member’s passport and everything else in a wallet was pickpocketed. Today we see a Facebook comment on one of their posts that was set to public that the passport had been found!! A wonderful gentleman had found it and worked diligently to contact someone in the family to get the...

An Old Dog, A Young Puppy And Me

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 20, 2024 / 4,442 views

My daughter’s dog, “Thunder”, has been in declining health for months now. He is eating less, sleeping more, and generally not doing well. Sadly, it is a pattern I have seen too many times as my own dogs have gotten older. Thunder is 12 years old or 84 in people years. It has always seemed so unfair to me that our dogs live such short lives compared to ours. Seeing that...

I've been traveling with my family for a couple of weeks and while it's been lovely. My youngest is Autistic and sometimes it can be challenging. We went to pick up our hire car today and the lovely lady there connected with my daughter and gave her this beautiful bumble bee pin! It really made our day, so appreciate people that really 'see'...

Thank You Beautiful Angel Lady

By A Friend on June 17, 2024 / 3,349 views

While standing in the checkout lane today, my hands were aching due to an injury, plus cold, so I was blowing on them. I'd been chatting, ever so briefly, to the lady behind me. She suggested that I get some winter gloves! I agreed with her and was thinking about where I would find some that would fit over a thumb brace. Anyways, I kept unloading my trolley, then suddenly she offered...

This Is Just Too Amazing Not To Share

By Bex on June 17, 2024 / 3,116 views

This is just too amazing not to share... I posted on our local Moms page, asking for tips about patching up my son's carpentry tool belt where his chisel had made a hole. I have patched a lot, but nothing as heavy duty. Amazing tips rolled in, but one insanely kind mom offered and insisted on helping my son out financially so he could replace the pouch. She understood having a...

A Peek Of Sunshine

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 14, 2024 / 4,209 views

It was the last in a line of long, dreary, rainy days. I hadn’t seen the sun come out for more than a few moments for the better part of the week. Being a light lover this had left me feeling tired, rundown, and a bit grumpy. Even though I don’t usually pray about such things I asked God for just a peek of sunshine to brighten my day, warm my heart, and uplift my spirits. I stopped by a...

Friends Being Brothers

By A Friend on June 13, 2024 / 3,414 views

My husband has a best friend he’s known for over 4 years now. They are always acting like a “MANLY MAN” when they are around each other. It’s always funny to watch them try to one up each other. When my husband and I announced my pregnancy to him, he immediately started making jokes like “eww nasty!” “I don’t need to know what you do in your private...

Airport Angels

By A Friend on June 11, 2024 / 2,959 views

Today I had a flight back home that I urgently had to be on, anything bad that could have happened, happened. Traffic? Awful Airport? Busy with senior trips. I got through check in relatively quickly until I saw the line for tsa. I started to panic and cry over the wait to my mom on the phone not knowing what I would do, and that I didn't think I'd make my flight home, my anxiety shooting...

Today I Learned That Even A Small Act Of Humanity And Kindness Will Be Repaid To You At The Most Important Point

By A Friend on June 10, 2024 / 4,294 views

Today I was part of 3 separate acts of kindness and it seemed as if the world was giving me a message to always be humble, kind and willing to help others to the extent possible. At 6 today in the morning, while I was en route my office, there was a lady who was requesting for getting a lift till somewhere nearby on my route. I could sense that she was getting late, and that it was too early to get...

I Recently Moved From A City To The Country

By A Friend on June 07, 2024 / 3,397 views

I recently moved from a city to the country. I bought a large metal wine rack at a yardsale without thinking of how I would get it home. As I stood outside my car measuring, knowing da*n well it wouldnt fit, an older man came up to me. He asked if I needed help getting it home and offered to follow me in hos truck. I thought, ok... I'm getting robbed, but it was only 40...
