A proud mom moment!
I’m going to take a minute to have a proud mom moment. It’ll embarrass him, but that can’t be helped. My oldest is 18, just turned in November. He’s been working at Pizza Hut for just about a year now.
Stories of Kindness
Happiness from giving, not getting
I’m just so proud of my kids I wanted to share their RAOK. They were getting a little bogged down by the presents they wanted for Christmas, so we had a big chat about the spirit of giving. On their own, they decided to bake cookies and give them out in our neighbourhood (even though we don’t…
The biggest heart in Croydon
I met an amazing man called Greg today. He told me of the day 10 years ago that he’d been held up at gun point in his pizza store and lost his will to interact with his customers. He was so disappointed that this young man was so lost that he’d turned to crime and…
Listen, love and miracles happen
I had an amazing set of incidences happen to me and I want to share them, not to brag, but to show that God is always watching over us and if we are in tune with Him (and even when we are not) things work out and opportunities to serve others are given to us…
His kindness is overwhelming
I became visually impaired as an adult and had to give up all the things I loved doing – especially competitive sport. Coincidentally, I was put in touch with a personal trainer whose specialty was Indoor Rowing. I did not even know that you could compete in something like that, but it was perfect as…
The privilege of being his wife!
. My husband and I were walking into the grocery store one day. It was cold, snowy and the parking lot was so slushy you couldn’t push a cart from the store to your car. We were about to enter the store and my husband started walking away from me. I turned to see where…
She was a complete stranger!
. Oh My God! I’m in absolute shock! In a good way. I went shopping today to try on a couple of dresses as I’m sick and tired of having nothing to wear! Anyway, I found two dresses that I loved. Both cost $119.00 each!!! I could only afford one but decided to lay-by the other dress.
My Smile Sharing Experience
. In the county where I was raised I never once saw anyone speak to a stranger, smile, wave, or say anything at all in passing. Then one day, I got this idea to do an experiment; to smile first and see what kind of effect it had on people. Initially, I’d try to first…
Share your love and never give up!
. To all those who feel as though there efforts are going to waste, that their kind words are falling on deaf ears or their actions are not appreciated, fear not. For years I have lived with the mindset of: ‘I must be tough and cold to survive in the world’. I frequently talked badly of…
Thanksgiving has a new meaning!
My cousin shared a beautiful story. She went to visit her mom after Thanksgiving dinner. My aunt passed away a little over a year ago and she was missing her. While she was there at the cemetery, she noticed a young mother with a toddler.
He lit up like a Christmas tree!
I shopped in Woolworths last week – rare as it’s usually Coles for me. The young guy at the cash register was clearly in his first hour of his first day there, and all at sea. He didn’t recognise my Brussels’ Sprouts and had trouble finding the change reading on the register. I thanked him…
Bear the dog
. My neighbor and I volunteer for Meals on Wheels. Every Wednesday we deliver meals to those who are home bound. During our deliveries last year we noticed that one of the customer’s dogs was limping and not putting weight on his front paw. We asked about him and the owner said that he had…
