Love is a reminder

Love is not just words on paper... Love is real, feel it, live it, share it.......

God is Love, in this season of Thanksgiving teach others the meaning of Love by simply showing them love and kindness.

 

 

Quote of the day: Planting Seeds

 

I love this quote that always reminds me of the little things in life that plant seeds of hope and inspiration in the hearts of others . Don't ever think something so small as a friendly smile, opening a door, or complimenting someone goes unnoticed. Simple things in our life add up to much larger things to others. You might just be the ray of hope that another person needs to get through a difficult time.

 

 

Wordful Wednesday: The Glass Of Grateful

Rejoice today that you have what you have, no matter how small your possessions are. Be grateful and thank God daily for what you do have. Our society today has become such a want it now, need it now society. Slow down and stop to smell the rain, enjoy a butterfly fluttering along, remember to tell your family and friends you love them, give hugs, think of others and pass on random acts of kindness. Fill your glass with beautiful things and always be grateful even if your glass is empty, it is waiting for a refill.

Friendship~ sticking together no matter what!

This was so sweet and so true that I had to share, no matter what, your true friends
do stick together when times are tough, value those friends and treat them just
as they would treat you! Thank God daily for bringing friends and angels into your
life, he alone is responsible for pairing you up with those friends that will last the miles.
Enjoy the pictures below, a truly feel good post! I hope I made you smile and made
your day, inspiring you to pass on your joy to someone else. Pay it Forward!

Random Acts of Kindness ~ 700 Teddy Bears

Such a sweet story, I had to share it ~~


"As a parent, I couldn't help but pass along my daughter's story.
My daughter, Taylor Marie Crabtree (age seven) started a business called TayBear Company. She makes and sells hand painted hair clips at local stores. When she started her business I assumed that she wanted extra spending money, but then she told me the purpose of her business.

Taylor was going to buy teddy bears for children with cancer. She said the kids probably have a lot of sadness in their lives and she wanted them to have something special to hug and to hug them back. Taylor wanted them to know that even strangers care about them. She set her goal at 500 teddy bears. I thought her too high goal was that of a child that didn't really understand. I was the one that didn't understand.

The media picked up on Taylor's project and our community has embraced her efforts. But help has come from far beyond our little community. Taylor has received donations from strangers that live thousands of miles away, just from word of mouth. It has been rather like a chain letter from the heart. With her scribbly second grade handwriting, she wrote each person with her appreciation and an update on her project. She has also expanded her project to include over 100 other children (including special needs kids) as helpers. Taylor wanted other kids to feel that they too were capable of helping others in their own way. Along the way she also raised her goal to 700 teddy bears.

Each day after selling, Taylor and her helpers talk about the people who had touched their hearts. Maybe it was the homeless man that had donated 11 cents and was surprised when he was told that was plenty of money to buy a hair clip. He and Taylor stood together choosing just the right hair clip for his lady friend. Or maybe it was the young woman who was flying back home the next day to say goodbye for the last time to her father, who was dying from cancer. Perhaps it was the man that drove all the way to his bank and back in order to buy a hair clip for his Mom. He said that his Dad had recently died from cancer. He wanted a child to have a teddy bear in his Dad's memory. With each hair clip or donation has come so many memories and a realization that when working toward a goal from your heart, the journey too is part of the experience. Taylor once told me "how could people not see Angels, they're everywhere.
