The Greatest Treasure Of All

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 26, 2023 / 3,032 views

God loves us all so much that sometimes He even speaks to us in our dreams in order to wake us up. A few months ago I had watched some old action movie on television where the hero was seeking a great treasure while running from a bunch of evil villains the entire time. After I went to bed that night my mind started to replay parts of that movie in my dreams with me, of course, as the hero. The dreams seemed...

We had a computer repair guy come around to fix my son's computer. He got hacked, locked out, threatened and bribed for money the night before. Minutes after leaving the computer tech calls me to say instead of paying for his services, use the money to buy a good virus protection and back up hard drive for my son. He made our...

Going through the hardest break up with who I thought was the true love of my life (hell...he still is). I hope to look back on this one day and think I dodged a bullet, but for the time being am absolutely shattered/gutted...you name it. Whoever you are - you are an absolute angel. This is pivotal in my...

The Beautiful Soul Within

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 18, 2023 / 3,121 views

I realized recently that if I ever have to move again I will need a separate truck just for all the stuff hanging on my walls. I have calendars, old post cards, inspirational sayings, nature scenes, my daughter’s diplomas, and so many pictures hanging on them. There are ones of high school reunions, family reunions, friends, Mom, Dad, Nana, my brothers, and most of all so many of my children. From baby...

By A Friend on October 16, 2023 / 3,807 views

Friendliest man I've met in a long time. I was out on break at work today and a man came up to me. Asked me what do I wish for? Then tossed a notebook at me that was filled with pages and pages of wishes. Like 29 pages both sides with an answer from every one he asked. He had been walking around the downtown area all day asking as many as he could the same question. He said it sucks...

I Thought My Long Time Friend Didn't Really Like Me, But Today I Found Her Gratitude List And I Was On It

By A Friend on October 16, 2023 / 3,174 views

I was over at my high school friend's dorm helping her look for her airpods. When we couldn’t find them we went to her roommate's room, and we asked if we could look there to which she agreed. We've been "friends" for 6 years, but I always thought she just tolerated me and my hugs. But as I was going through her trash I peeped a sheet of paper titled things she’s...

I Do Instacart And Shop For People

By A Friend on October 13, 2023 / 3,000 views

I do Instacart and shop for people. Got an order that was fairly small, it was mostly protein drinks, some snacks and a bottle of wine. When I arrived and knocked on the door to get the customers ID info for the alcohol, an old man opened the door and immediately hugged me. He told me his wife is dying of cancer and he can't leave the house to shop. He buys her protein...

She Called Me Dad, Sort Of

By A Friend on October 12, 2023 / 3,105 views

My daughter's best friend (we'll call her Beth) and her younger siblings moved in with us after Beth's mom passed away from COVID 2 years ago. We adopted Beth in March as an adult (still working on adopting the siblings, it's not as easy for minors). Beth had already been adopted before, and she has never had a good father figure in her life, so the word "Dad" does not have positive...

I Thank You So Very Much. You Made My Day

By A Friend on October 10, 2023 / 2,729 views

I was in Westfield Helensvale queued to buy lunch and had a chat and laugh with two lovely ladies behind me. They were discussing who would pay for lunch and one lady said that, as she’d invited her friend, she would pay. Cheekily, I said she could invite me too. We had a good laugh about it. My turn arrived and I ordered with my card out ready to pay when one of these kind ladies...

Yesterday I Had An Amazing Act Of Kindness

Yesterday I had an amazing act of kindness. My daughter has ADHD and is on medication for it. The place that I took her prescription told me that they needed one days notice for her medication so they could get it in. I realise that morning that my daughter did not have any medication left so I went to another chemist, hoping that they would be able to help me. They got in contact with...

Summer was winding down and there was a hint of Autumn in the air. The temperatures were cooler, the air felt drier, and I could already see the first yellow and red leaves on the trees. I had just finished taking my dogs for their morning walk when I noticed something. On my back deck porch was a Maple tree stem. It was growing out of a tiny clump of dirt that we had tracked up on the porch. Its base...

Today my husband and I got caught without our raincoat and umbrellas. You'd think we'd know better living in UK. However on our wet walk home we were offered an umbrella by a random stranger which made our day. We declined as didn't want her to be without in case it was her only one but the offer was so...

Ruby Red Rosettes

I’m with the NDIS and I have just started working with a new support worker. I told him a couple of days ago that I needed to buy some new earrings as I had a pair of my favorites. They were ruby red rosettes. He came today and gave me a small white paper bag. He said it was for me. I felt it, moved the small object around it had no idea of what it could be. I...
