Random acts of Kindness
Today I gave a cosmotologist a huge tip and then bought cloths for a child who had grown out of their cloths and the parent was out of money to buy anymore. Why is it that Christmas is the only time people feel the need to give and why are angle trees only a Christmas event? I can't tell you how good I feel tonight knowing I made a difference in peoples lives and somehow helped out. A child is sleeping in a warm footed sleeeper. I'm not tryig to brag, but there are people out there, who if someone would reach out to them, could keep off of food stamps or put healthy food on the table or keep their house. And I'm not just talking about people who don't have a job for whatever reason. I'm talking about those people who are working and still can't do it, yet can't get any help from the system either. Maybe it's not our place to judge why. Heck, maybe some single mother needs a house repair she dosn't have the skills to do. Maybe someone just needs a smile or a kind word. It dosn't even have to cost anything.
Hugs:
Betty
Giving does feel good.
Giving does feel good.
Glad you're feeling good.
When the terrorists attacked
When the terrorists attacked the hotels that foreigners stay at in Mumbai a few weeks ago, they also attacked the tiny Jewish centre in Mumbai and tortured and killed the rabbi and his pregnant wife.
The group that runs the centre was determined not to let the terrorists win (by spreading hatred and mistrust) when they urged the Jews of Mumbai and everywhere else to "perform random acts of kindness", depriving the terrorists of a victory.
Hi Product; Everything you
Hi Product;
Everything you said is so true. I think that if one person helped another every day, the world would be so different. In the last analysis we will be remembered, not by who we were, but by what we did.
Trust me, I'm not trying to get brownie points here, but you and a lot of others help people on this forum everyday. Some of you bring logic when logic is lacking; some bring gentleness; some explain with clarity things that others either don't see, or don't understand. All of you are so special to everyone who comes here.
I do miss one thing. Wisher stopped writing about what she learned at mass. I always look forward to that. Keep being you Product, you're a kind person and the world seems to be losing its kindness.

Betty, selfless giving can
Betty, selfless giving can be such a powerful action. You're right: a smile or kind word goes a long way.

I didnt't know that you looked forward to that Cristal!
Hmmm....what was the sermon about tonight????
I know there was something in the old testament about your body being a temple and not fornicating. (I don't do that).
But, I do put too much food into the old temple...
Then, there was stuff about some guy being called by the Lord, and he said "Here I am, Here I am, Here I am...."
Then, there was the gospel about how John pointed out Jesus to a couple of disciples, and they followed him, and then they got Peter to go see Jesus, (but his name wasn't Peter yet...)
Then there was the sermon, said by the deacon, with a very thick accent, and it was about responding to God when he calls you. (I think that's what it was about - I tried to listen but my mind was drifting a bit, to be honest.)
Lent is coming up soon - I think it starts around February 25th, the priest said.
I don't like the 5 o'clock Mass that much because I prefer to listen to the priest.
(Even though a couple of weeks ago he talked about communicating over the internet, and well, that was a bit embarrassing because I had been joking around a lot, and I had to wonder if Father goes on Ratemds, LOL.)
Then, at the end of the Mass, the priest said that there was some confusion, and he wanted to clarify.
When he sits down after Holy Communion, we are allowed to sit down. We don't have to wait for the deacon to sit down.
I don't think I sat down. I was too busy praying for help to find a GOOD lawyer (one that doesn't play golf, LOL), and of course I prayed for Puzzle and everyone on Ratemds too.
I'll post about stuff next Sunday, just for you Cristal!!
Last year, I kept getting messages from the Sermons, telling me to be strong and continue on, and I have continued on, trusting that God wants me to continue on.
I've even got a Message Book, and I've gotten messages there, and journalled some of them that had special meaning, but lately I stopped doing that, because I don't understand the meaning sometimes.
And sometimes I really don't want to know, and maybe that's what the message is for me tonight. - That I should pay better attention, and listen for God's direction.
Thanks Cristal.
Here's one of the hymns.

What I wanted to say is that I really do have a lot of respect for the majority of doctors, and some of them are in fact angels in disguise.
However, some doctors and lawyers - well, I'd just like to take their balls away from them, plain and simple - because they don't play fair, and in my opinion, the games have got to stop. People are getting seriously hurt, and they just don't give a damn.
Trust God and trust yourself. You know what was done to you and how much you've suffered because of it. Keep fighting until someone does something. Everyone here is behind you 100%.
Thank you Cristal.
As bad as what happened to me, I kept asking myself if somehow I deserved it, and I kept asking myself - what could I have done differently?
(Quite possibly, learned behaviour from being harmed by a pedophile in early childhood, made to feel as though he was o.k., and I wasn't. "It" was an accident; and I was a "bad little girl")
The pedophile continued on being welcomed into our home, and he continued on sexually abusing an untold number of children after me. I didn't even know it was sexual abuse then, and as an adult, I couldn't see it. I thought that I hadn't been cute enough.
Some may be offended by my comparing the two stories, but, in my opinion, they are both stories of abuse of innocents by people with power.
Hindsight is 20/20, but, when you are going through some struggles in life, you don't have 20/20, and you just do the best that you can do at that time. I did the best that I could do. I am putting all of my faith, hope and trust in God, and I am hoping that somehow He will find justice not just for me, but for others as well.
Sorry for hijacking your thread Betty.

Misfit, I could never forget your birthday, as it's the same as my son Jimmy's birthday! He will be 9. I'm getting old, too. I have to diguise my gray hairs tomorrow. I'll be 32 this year, too, in September. I know some don't think that's old, but the gray hairs tell me different! (and the wrinkles I see trying to appear.)
Wisher! roflmfao.... let us know how that works out for you!

Wonderful advice Twain. I've found when someone is really angry often a hug or an "I love you" will either quickly defuse them or send them on their way. I have my bike and helmet but the weather hasn't been favorable to go riding very much. Have taken it out a couple of times and it is much easier on the foot.

I did know that about Chabad. The rabbi's wife and I had mutual friends, although I didn't know her, the family's loss of life was personal to me because it was personal to my friends.
Misfit and Puzzle,
Start dying before anyone notices. That's what I did. I changed my hair color entirely, so no one realized I did it to cover gray. And no, Elvis, the curtains and the carpet do not match.

Yesterday while shopping
Yesterday while shopping there was a elderly man whose car would not start.
It was cold so I took him home. Then I went back and got my hubby and we boosted the car and brought it home to the people.
They would not let us leave the house without supper so we ate and ate and ate.
My god they kept pumping the food into us. They were so grateful.
Then they gave us so much home made baking.
They offered us money but we would not take it. We could have used the $ 100 but we decided not to take it.
I feel so much better knowing they are safe in their home.

Braddly, did you know that I was clinically dead at age 34?
Mic, Did you have any unique experiences during this time?
No, unfortunately, none of the great white light at the end of the tunnel sort of thing. I simply lost consciousness and hit the floor, like someone had slipped me a mickey. Other than feeling as though I was at Day Three of the flu (in three hours) combined with a sense of fear that I'll likely not soon forget, I felt nothing. I was told that nothing was the matter with me, to go home, and that's when the lights went out. I can only guess that my heart had already stopped, and when the lack of oxygen caught up with me, it's was beddy-bye time!
