So, my RAK worked today! Was in our local corner shop and an old gent, a pensioner comes back in asking if anyone had seen a fiver that he had dropped just minutes before when in the shop. We looked everywhere, but couldn’t find it, he was pretty upset as he needed it to put some…
. Sometimes I feel like I practically live at the grocery store. I was at the deli counter AGAIN and joking with the guys behind the counter about how often I’m there, and I feel a small body snuggle itself to my side and arms go around my waist. I knew immediately someone mistook me…
. A lady was walking by my house recently on the street as the snow plows had not cleared the side walks… we are having a terrible snowy/cold longer than normal winter… she was walking on a busy street by my house. I decided to pull over and ask her if I could offer her…
. This morning I went to breakfast with my daughter after she finished her 9 mile run in preparation for a half marathon in the coming months. As we were leaving, a man was approaching in a manual wheelchair, his wife walking behind him. As I seen him, I opened the door and stood waiting…
. I visited Dominican of Republic in 1998 after Hurricane Mitch had ravaged the Island. I gave my friend Ruby my favorite dress. Actually I gave all of my clothes to the Dominican women because clothes are a precious commodity on an island. Well anyway, a few years later I was at a store and…
. A couple of years ago, I moved across the country with my family. I was lonely and didn’t know anyone. My husband brought a friend home for dinner one night – he was a homeless man who was friends with my husband’s mom. He lived in a tent on someone else’s property and worked…
. My Mom and Dad were moving back from South Texas and met a family along the way. The man had lost his job and they were moving somewhere also. They needed a bed. My parents took one of the beds out of their trailer and gave it to them. At the time I was…
Several weeks ago, I was contacted by Crista who had recently lost a treasured friend. She told me how amazing her friend was and how she’d found love late in life with her best friend Chris. K.B. and Chris had only been married a short time when K.B. passed away, but the thing that he…
. I am a 21 year old mother and I have an 18 month old son and a 4 year old stepson with one on the way. I work a part-time minimum wage job and my fiance is a contractor who is out of work from time to time, especially during winter and holidays. So…
. On New Year’s Day in 2011, I stopped in at a Catholic church in San Antonio. I was just sitting in a pew reflecting on who I am and what I believe, when I saw a young man walk up the main aisle and take his place in an empty pew nearer to the…
. Just before Christmas, my husband and I had a rare child free RDO. We were getting a Boost Juice before heading to the movies and there was a disabled person and his carer in line behind us. The young man tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around, realised what had happened and…
. A few weeks ago I stopped in Goodwill for my weekly “treasure” hunt. It was a rare occasion that I actually had cash in my purse. As I was going through the children’s books close to the back hall where the bathrooms are, I could hear a man softly talking and sobbing. He was…
