Receiving With Love

By Joseph J. Mazzella on December 28, 2022 / 3,091 views

My daughter had overbought several times over the last six months so her food pantry was full and she wasn’t sure she would be able to eat all the stuff she had left. She asked me then to donate two full boxes of dry goods to the local food pantry. I was happy to do so and took them over. I was overwhelmed, though, by the enthusiasm, the joy, and the love with which her donation was received. The lack of...

Then she...

An Old Friend

It was a month or so ago. I was at a tire dealership getting new tires put on my car before winter weather set in. It was a long wait so I settled into a chair with my book when suddenly I heard a voice that I hadn’t heard in many years. An old friend from grade school had recognized me. I certainly didn’t recognize him at first. He had white hair and a white beard now. The last time I’d seen...

Thank you to the "Human Angels" (looked like the guys from ZZTop) who got my car free from a parking garage medium.

These guys heard me and saw my situation and immediately without hesitation asked me to get out...

It was a rainy, December day 30 years ago. A cold hung in the air that chilled you to the bones. I was even wishing the temperature would drop a few more degrees so at least it would snow. My wife and I were standing in a line at a volunteer fire department building with our two year old daughter, Beth. It was going to be her first time meeting Santa and my wife had brought her camera along to catch the...

While leaving a shop I overhead a conversation between a staff member and a lady who was looking to enter the store with her black Labrador. The staff member was apologising that the dog was not permitted to enter ( it wasn't a support dog). The lady turned to leave. I called out to her to wait and offered to dog-sit while she shopped. She was surprised, and half jokingly asked if I...
