I looked out of my window today and saw a bus unloading a wheelchair with a disabled child in it. The mother smiled as she was speaking with the bus driver. It struck a chord in my heart. I 'felt sorry for her'. When I see or hear about certain things in other people's lives I put my menial issues into their proper place. Do I really have it THAT bad? I am not saying she does- because I know God has given her the grace to keep going each day- but do I have the 'right' to murmur and complain abo… Continue

I went to my door to tape up a sign for the UPS man and to my surprise, a young man was stuffing my children's ball into a car full of children. I yelled to my kids that someone was giving their ball away. I opened the door and yelled it again so he can hear me. He said, "oh- was that your ball? I found it in the street."
