A Good Father

One time I was in public and I was standing next to a dad and his two young boys. A man walks by us and stumbles, nearly dropping his things. The two young boys snicker, and their dad stops them immediately. He said something along the lines of, "A man trips and you laugh at him before you help him? What kind of person does...

Seasoned With Love

I couldn’t have been more than ten or eleven years old. It was a hot, Summer afternoon and I decided to cool off by taking a swim in the river that ran down the hill from our home. The water was cold and my dog jumped in to splash around with me. After a while I grabbed my towel and headed back up to the house. I knew that dinner would...

Never Too Soon

It is closing in on my 54th birthday as I write this and I am reminded of a wonderful quote by the writer, Colette: “What a wonderful life I’ve had. I only wish I’d realized it sooner.” I was so blessed to grow up the way I did. I was surrounded by a loving family. I seemed to have all of nature as my playground. I...

Warmhearted

When I was 22 yrs-old I experienced a neighbor's deep and warm heart. I had been home from college since December, seriously depressed and "lost" after the loss of a long-term relationship. By summertime my mother's neighbor and friend, a woman everyone knew and liked, came to the house and invited me to tea at her home...

Act Of Kindness At The Car Wash

"We're just a car wash, so we have to assume this customer (who's moving) wrote notes like this for multiple local businesses. And she brought donuts!" The note reads: Thanks for taking such good care of our cars of the past couple of years. We could always count on you to ensure our...

I Have Decided

This is the end. And the beginning. The end of endless self guilt, procrastination, postponing and ignoring the reality, running away and hiding, crying, blaming others. The end of overthiking and not following my dreams. The end of giving a sh*t about other people's opinions. The end of wishing something that is not in my...

Ham saved my life yesterday

Ham saved my life yesterday. He hurt his paw but I'm alive because of his bravery.  I was working on my house where I fell and was critically injured. He ran to me and started howling and crying; he tried to drag me and ripped his foot open. Luckily he got my neighbors attention. I should be dead, but he saved...

Pride Goes Before A Fall

Once, a wealthy man out of pride, drove his luxurious car with full speed. Engrossed with music, he didn't pay any attention to the traffic sign of a curve path. Eventually, he met a severe accident. The car flung into the air and dashed on the road. He was laying down unconscious in a pool of blood. However, with the help of passers-by,...

CNA Appears Out Of Nowhere To Help 96-Year-Old Woman Walk To Her Car

I picked up my Mom where she lived and drove her to the Courthouse to drop off her mail-in-ballot. After she handed in her ballot, she asked me where she could sit down because she was tired of standing. I told her that there was a church pew type bench right outside the door of the Election Office. When she went to sit down, her...

The Circle Of Love

The Fall leaves are really starting to change now. It looks like the very trees and mountains have become a canvas painted by God’s loving Hand. The bright, beautiful reds are shining in the sunlight. The out of this world oranges are appearing too. And the yellows are glittering like gold. Some trees have only a few leaves changed....

Identity

I shared my "identity" with a twin...and until about 9 yrs-old my name was "Twinny". And so was hers! My name was frequently HER name, when someone thought I was her (usually followed by, "Oh, wrong one!"). Every once in awhile I was called my name: Someone would look at me and - lo and behold! - would see ME....

I just gave him my shoes

So I'm coming out of the store a few minutes ago, and see this poor homeless gentleman walking on the hot blacktop barefoot. I cant even imagine how hot his feet are, it's 95 degrees out right now. So I don't know why I ask him "Hey man what size are u?” And he says like a...

31 months ago I was obese at my wits end

558 views | Posted by A friend on October 15, 2020

Over 31 months ago I stumbled upon a video called along the lines of "The Why a 100 miles" by Billy Yang. I remember clicking on it and being moved so much to the point where I told myself that I wanted to run a 100 miles too as it was such a moving video. Dozens of times I tried to lose weight and it got to the point...

I once read a line in a poem that went, "Love everyone as your own". I related because I grew up with a family of twelve (10 children and parents) and a large, extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Neighbors were in and out of each others homes at any given hour of any day, for years! Everybody was...

I am finally learning to love myself

416 views | Posted by A friend on October 22, 2020

It is an amazing feeling, I have never felt something like this. I’ve been realizing so much, just little things.. but they add up. Like, how I went from sleeping 12 hours a day to 10. My water intake has increased from none to about 2 cups daily. I am actually washing my hair and not just standing in the shower. How I don’t rush...

The Train Ticket

Yesterday as I was leaving the grocery store a man approached me and asked if I could help him pay for a train ticket to a city about 100 miles away. As I've always believed Jesus' admonition, "Whatsoever you do to the least of my family, you do to me," I never turn my back on those in need. Jokingly I...

This guide dog

This is the Himalayan Sheepdog who guided us for 7 miles on a trek (Kheerganga trek in Himachal Pradesh in India). It’s almost as if he knew that we would get lost after it got dark. He sat with us when we rested and ranged ahead and made sure that both of us kept pace with...

I saw this today at 711 at Robinson and Flood this guy held this lady's arm, carried her drink, and walked her to her car while it was raining. Then he stood there and pumped her fuel. I don't know his name but Sir, you are a good man. I hope this goes viral and he gets the thank you he...
