One year at Christmas my husband and I dropped one of our cars off for service and headed out to shop. Earlier in the week I had contacted the local elementary school to see if there was a child in need. I was told about a little boy who didn’t even have socks to wear…
I went to a park and lost 4 pendants with my husband’s name, my name and my 2 boys. My family had bought them for me as a 1-year anniversary present and I was devastated. Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Reddit Facebook Messenger Email Share
I’d arranged to meet a new friend for a cuppa and chat. As luck would have it, we both pulled our cars into parking spaces outside the cafe at the same time. As we greeted one another, I commented on a rather unusual brooch she was wearing. Merryn told me that she’d admired it on…
A few weeks ago, a friend shared a poster on Facebook that said; ‘Sometimes I just want someone to hug me and say, “I know it’s hard. You’re going to be okay. Here’s chocolate and 6 million dollars.” So I ducked into the grocery store and grabbed a few blocks of nice chocolate and sent it…
My day started out great, everything planned in advance – but it quickly went downhill. I dropped off two dogs to get spayed at 7:30, I planned to go to college to drop off my daughter’s paperwork, sign my lease agreement on new home, get my new license plate for my truck, go into the…
. There was this very old man who walked miles collecting cans. One day I asked him if he wanted mine and he gave me his address. A few days later I dropped them off at his tiny rental. We got to talking and became friends and soon I was taking him to the recycling station…
. Not so long ago, I saw a red Honda on the side of the road with the flashers blinking. I slowed and saw a woman on the passenger’s side. I didn’t want to frighten her but wanted to know if I could help. A little way ahead, I saw a man in his late…
. A few months ago, my friend and I were in the hairdressers. She and I both have disabilities and are in wheelchairs. At the start of my haircut I was told that it would cost me about $80. Not sure how much it cost my friend, but much cheaper. Anyway, at the end of…
. There is so much in the news about the bad kids and not enough about the good kids. I want to tell you what happened to my grandsons due to their kindness to elderly people. During “Children’s Moment” at church on Sunday, our Children’s Minister told the kids that when he was in the…
. Last Christmas eve, my daughter and I were at Walmart buying a Christmas dinner feast for a family we’d heard was in need. While we were there, we saw a young couple approach a family that looked like they were struggling financially. The couple chatted with the family a little and then gave them a…
. I was at the counter in a convenience store paying as two young girls (probably 7 and 9) came in and told the guy behind the counter they didn’t have any money, they were hungry, can they have a lil something off the shelf. He said of course and they each got a bag…
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…
