Human Angels

By Lori on December 19, 2022 / 2,032 views

Thank you to the "Human Angels" (looked like the guys from ZZTop) who got my car free from a parking garage medium. I was ready to call AAA to help me get unstuck from the medium I somehow straddled trying to get out of Barnes West Hospital Garage to get my partner from the hospital! These guys heard me and saw my situation and immediately without hesitation asked me to get out...

A Christmas Moment

By Joseph J. Mazzella on December 14, 2022 / 3,279 views

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...

Baxter

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...

My daughter and all the junior students had a Movieworld trip on Tuesday 6th December. She excitedly told me that while her and her group of friends (about 8 students) were waiting for their ride at Wild Wild West. Not in any hurry, they've allowed a family that seemed to be holidaying on the GC, jump in front of the queue. This family was forever thankful and offered to buy my daughter and all...

My doggo Gemma has days left, her kidneys are failed. So we're doing her favourite things like doing to parks, local shops to sniff things. But we are extremely slow. A lady stopped by and said "aww so sweet. How old?" I said we don't know, she's a rescue, but possibly 16, she only has a few days. The lady told me her dog is being put down this next week. Then she...

A worker from Bunnings at Rothwell accompanying an older lady to her car. They were having a lovely conversation and he didn't seem to mind that it took her a bit longer. Well done to this young man for his kindness and compassion, he should be very proud of the person that he is. I would also like to say to Bunnings Warehouse Australia that this staff member's is a superstar and...

So Many Gifts

By Joseph J. Mazzella on November 28, 2022 / 3,657 views

I was sitting on a long, black, folding medical table. Beside me was a woman in scrubs talking about the cold change the weather had taken recently. A radio in the corner was playing Christmas music even though it was still weeks away. I took a sip from the bottle of lemonade I had brought with me so I wouldn’t get dizzy. I looked around at all the other people laying back on their medical tables too....

I was out shopping with my kiddos doing my best to budget the last of my paycheck. We stopped at a juice bar after going thrifting and I saw a lady with a little dog sitting on the bumper of a car with a sign that she was homeless and needed help. I had a few bucks I could spare and a couple bottles of water in my car and happily asked if she needed the water and handed her the bottles and the money. Turns out...

I'd Like To Share An Act Of Kindness That Set Me On A Path To Healing

By Susanne on November 26, 2022 / 2,394 views

I'd like to share an act of kindness that set me on a path to healing. A few years ago, I lost my youngest son in a car accident. An unexpected tragedy had been bestowed on my family. Those early days were tough. As you could imagine. But then maybe you can't! I called on my faith. In God, a God, or a spiritual belief that would lead to a larger meaning to my sons life and death....
