A Group Of Lovely Kids

By Meg on July 22, 2023 / 2,122 views

My 3-year-old daughter received the most lovely kindness from some older children today. She got stuck quite high in a playground and as I had other children to look after (and am also adult sized) I couldn’t climb in to help her. A group of lovely kids made it their mission to rescue her and were so gentle and kind! They even went back to find her lost socks...

My Pay It Forward Opportunity Backfired

By Elisha on July 20, 2023 / 2,544 views

I was in the line behind a man who was making a small purchase. I heard the cashier ask if he had any cash on him or if there was anything else he wanted as the minimum eftpos was $5. I stepped forward and told the lady to add his purchase to mine. She scanned my items, putting the total to about $8. Then he reached over, tapped his card and said the business will pay for...

My daughter new to driving and having a license, just called crying and said she had an accident, went into mum panic mode and made sure first she was OK and so was everyone else! She calmed down, and said it wasn’t an actual accident but a piece of metal or something had been dropped by a car on the road, consequently the car in front braked hard and swerved to miss it and then my daughter...

This wonderful story was shared on Facebook by a couple who were dining at The Barn restaurant in the small town of Little Compton, Rhode Island. "I don't post very often on Facebook, but felt this observation from a dining experience this morning was worthy of recognition. At about 10:30 this morning my husband and I were enjoying a delicious breakfast at the outdoor eating space at The...

Looking Towards Home

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 17, 2023 / 2,439 views

When I was a little boy my Mom, Dad, brothers and I all lived in my Nana’s old, ramshackle house. The only way you could reach it was across a battered, wooden, swinging bridge that spanned the river next to it. On the other side of it too was a pair of railroad tracks only 10 feet from the house. I can still remember how the house would shake when the trains hauling coal would go by. Still, it was home...

I would love to share about the great generosity of spirit of my friend Ellie. I’m a volunteer with Make-a-Wish. I was 1 of 2 wish granters for a “rush wish”, which means the child’s health is declining rapidly. My friend Ellie asked if she could crochet something. I told her that the kid and family LOVED Shel Silverstein… I thought she might crochet one...

By Bronson on July 13, 2023 / 2,881 views

Hello, everyone. My name is Bronson Layton. I am 23 years old, I am a college student, and I have a story that I feel should be shared with the world. I come from a family that had never had a single record of ancestry with autism, not until the day I was born. When I was two years old, my parents were still getting used to the lifestyle of raising a kid, but what they had...

Better Angels

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 10, 2023 / 2,016 views

A few weeks ago I stopped at a light by an intersection on my way home. I glanced to the side and saw a little, old man on the grass by the road. His face was full of weariness and sadness and he was holding a sign that said: “Please Help! Need money for food and dog food.” I pulled to the side of the road and talked to him a bit. His wife was ill and on dialysis. And the power and water company...

This morning, had coffee at a place close to home that sells yummy cupcakes and slices. Got my coffee and went to sit outside and I saw there was a saying on the lid. I went inside to ask about it, and one of the lovely workers said that the worker who does this stays up for hours every night to find a new saying for every cup, and the hope that the positive affirmation helps that person...

Small But Meaningful Gestures Like This Make The World A Better Place

By Jess on July 05, 2023 / 2,548 views

Hello there! Just wanted to share a small thing that happened to me and my daughters today. They have been going through their toys and dress up clothes, hoping to sell some and make some pocket money. A lovely lady was interested in buying all the dress ups they had for her grandchildren (or so I assume). When she turned up, she gave me $10 more than the asking...

Garbage Truck Driver Kindness

This morning my elderly step-father who uses a walking stick accidentally let his two small dogs out when he opened the front door to collect the newspaper from the lawn. The garbage truck driver who was driving down the street noticed his failing attempts to catch them so stopped the truck, got out and rounded them both up, got them inside and also made sure my step-father was okay and safely back...

The Most Beautiful Woman

By Joseph J. Mazzella on June 30, 2023 / 3,311 views

I saw the most beautiful woman the other day. She wasn’t that tall. She was 5 feet at the most. Her spine was curved down too. Her skin was thin and covered in age spots from a lifetime of walking in the sun. Her hair was a thin, wispy white. Her smile had as many false teeth as new ones. She was at least 80 years old and may have been over 90. She moved slowly and with great care. Still, when she looked...

It's The Little Things

By Judy Maduhu on June 28, 2023 / 3,045 views

"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you’ll look back and realize they were the big things." This quote has stuck with me since the first time I read it. And it just makes so much sense. Just the other day I caught a cold, the flu really took a toll on me and made me feel so weak and just sleepy, you all know how flu can be driving. I woke up with...

He Has Made Such A Difference To Our Lives

By Chloe on June 23, 2023 / 3,091 views

I’d like to share my story of kindness and generosity. I had a minor car accident and needed to get a new car asap and I don’t have savings. Everything is more expensive these days so I saw some dreadful cars for around $5000 but then I found one advertised for $4000, a 2006 Hyundai that is a big step up from my 1997 excel that cost $2k about 8 years ago. This newer car has some external...
