God Sent 2 Angels To Us!

By Ginny on September 11, 2023 / 2,402 views

A huge thank you to a beautiful couple who stopped and helped my husband and I change our very flat tire! We were on vacation and we weren't able to change the tire ourselves (we are in our mid 70's now). Thank you for your kindness Lincoln and Jackie, who were also on vacation. We actually prayed that God would send someone to help us as we could not get roadside...

It Costs Nothing To Be Kind

By Heather on September 06, 2023 / 3,774 views

As I left my airport hotel bound for my international flight I noticed an elderly lady heading the same way. She was pulling her luggage. I had a luggage trolley so offered her to use it too. She was grateful and offered to push it 1/2 the way but I declined. Turns out she was 80 years young.. 20 years my senior and we had a lovely chat as we walked. Then when I got to international airport I found...

By Jen on September 04, 2023 / 3,397 views

A month ago my sweet pup Bowie was hit by a car. He broke his pelvis, tibia and fibia and had to totally have to have his leg reconstructed. Since Bowie's accident, every time I go into the pet store they ask about him as I used to bring him in with me and they also groomed him. They even put a poster up with a link to his GoFundMe. Today I went in to pick up his dog food...

Thought I Lost My Wedding Band Forever At An Airbnb

By A Friend on September 01, 2023 / 3,636 views

My wedding band slipped off my finger (I know, resize it), while staying in VT. I was quite upset as my wife had designed our bands to match and for mine to also match my engagement ring. Our host had almost given up searching but spotted a glint in the driveway and there it was. Thank you...

No Extra Charge

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 31, 2023 / 4,653 views

It was years ago but I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was driving my daughter to the nearest airport to take a trip. It was a 3 hour round trip so after dropping her off at the airport my sons and I stopped at a McDonalds to have lunch. We grabbed a booth and I went up to order our food. Most of the workers there were teenagers just going through the motions of the job, cranking out the food like...

All Thanks To Connor's Kindness

By Jeanette on August 30, 2023 / 3,202 views

Hello! Today I was very fortunate to have been served by a younger man, Conner, at Battery World. I went with my portable, mini, mobility scooter and what I thought was a dead battery. Connor checked my battery, checked my charger, soldered the connection to the battery (I did buy the scooter second hand and had replaced a battery)! He explained the best way to use the scooter, when to...

So Today Was A Doozy

By Gillian on August 28, 2023 / 3,507 views

So today was a doozy. I collected my dog from the kennels in Yarrambat. I drove out along Yan Yean Road and realised that the car behind me was flashing their lights at me. Thought that maybe I was too slow for them and pulled over. They pulled over too. What now? A lovely man approached and said that my wallet had fallen off the roof of my car at the last bend in the road. (...

About Two Weeks Ago I Was In A Supermarket. I Had Dashed In To Buy Some Raw Sugar.

By Jo on August 28, 2023 / 2,569 views

About two weeks ago I was in a supermarket. I had dashed in to buy some raw sugar. Standing in the queue I was second in line to be served. I went to get my money out to be ready to pay and unconsciously let out a small shriek. I had left my purse in my car. Silly me. The lady beside me looked and I laughed and said oh I’ve just been dashing and not thinking and I have to...

By Fiona on August 23, 2023 / 3,936 views

I just had the most beautiful experience with Woolworths in Gladstone Park Shopping Centre. I did an online order for my family and went into store to pick it up. It was a big one due to my youngest daughter’s second birthday. The young man Adrian was lovely and grabbed my order. Happy mum I was and walked off with trolley full of groceries and my toddler. 5-10 minutes later I got 4 miss calls...

Potatoes

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 23, 2023 / 3,040 views

When I was a boy growing up we had a potato garden half the size of a football field. I remember planting it was a family affair. First Dad would use a push tiller to break up the soil. Then Mom would go down the rows dropping seed potatoes into the freshly turned earth. Next would be me dropping a handful of fertilizer in between each of the potatoes. Lastly my brothers would hoe dirt back over the potatoes...

Had My Nails Done This Morning...

By Janine on August 21, 2023 / 2,166 views

Had my nails done this morning at Spring Nails Erskine Park, and I would like to say the biggest thank you to the amazing woman there with me. We chatted all the time we were getting our nails done, had some laughs and discussed kids and how proud we are of ours. When it was time to pay for our nails she had already paid for mine. I would also like to thank the owner of the...

A Lovely Lady

By Christine on August 18, 2023 / 3,402 views

I was struggling to push a heavy case with a big bag over my shoulder and a heavy backpack on too up a hilly footpath. A lovely lady on her way home saw me turned her car round and came back to pick me and my gear up and drove me 1/2 a km to my hotel. I was so grateful my legs and back were very tired. Thank you lovely Palm Cove...

I'm Really Grateful For The Man That Stopped And Helped Me

By Jess on August 18, 2023 / 3,444 views

This morning I got into a car accident and was obviously very shaken and scared. I was in such a state I wasn’t able to get out of my car until a man in a truck who was behind me stopped and approached me. He manoeuvred all the airbags out of the way and got me out of the car and sat me down. He made sure I was okay and kept me safe. Considering other people were only getting out of...

By Aaron on August 16, 2023 / 2,477 views

I was playing lawn bowls last week and one of the competition players saw me bowling came up and asked if I had a new set of bowls would I join the club and start playing competition. I said I would be joining up soon and buying myself a new set eventually. He said if you had a new set would you join up? I said that's my plan, sorta, but the opposite way around. He handed...

I was looking around for a good quality ladies bike for my wife, one lady said that she had one still in the original box from the shop. We had a look and it was exactly what we were looking for. We put the bike in the car and asked the lady how much she wanted for the bike, she said "nothing, I wasn't going to use it, you can have it" ..... thanks heaps to that...

A Fresh Start

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 14, 2023 / 3,663 views

I realized this last year that I have now lived here longer than my Mom did. That just didn’t seem right to me. If anyone deserved a long life it was my Mom. She was so full of kindness, laughter, love, and good cheer and she shared her gentle spirit with everyone. During the last 4 years of her life she battled Cancer. But she used even this to grow closer to us all. I remember calling her on the phone...
