He was just homesick!-A Thought Provoking Story

I was going to buy a pack of cigarettes and I had to cross a wide open field to get to the shop. The night, the absence of light, the presence of dark, the music I listened to while walking, were all too pleasant! Until I saw a guy, with tears in his eyes, unaware of the fact that his legs where doing this circle like motions on the ground. He seemed to have forgotten the fact that he was supposed to answer the person he was talking to, on his mobile phone. As I walked on, I thought to myself, everyone is fighting battles everyday, every moment of life, which others are not aware of. All it takes is a little smile, a lending hand, a listening ear, a piercing look that can pierce through the walls one has built to protect the ones they care for, to find that agony, pain, deceit hidden deep inside them. It echoed in my mind, throw away the conceit, help him! Talk to him! I took a step back, walked up to him. I knew he was in pain, I wanted to help him, I wanted to let him know, that humanity is still alive. He can get help, all he needed to do was open up. But all I could muster to say to his face was, "Hi!". He looked at me with a face of a broken man, silently stood up, walking the walk of a man who had lost it all, putting his broken mobile into his pocket, walked a little farther and turned around saying "Hi."and he walked away from the help I would offer him. As I walked to the shop, it hit me. People aren't always supposed to be there for each other. I realized when I said "Hi!", I had woken him from his own world, the place where he felt he was at home, where he could cry, scream, break, the place where he needed to be. The place deep inside his mind where nobody else could reach him at. He needed to be left alone, not for eternity, not for a day, but just for a moment, to take time to walk to his 'home' and get rid of his homesickness. To get away just for a brief moment and that would bring him serenity.

Friendship of Two Dogs - Motivational Story

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in most any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective houses. One evening, Brownie's family noticed that Brownie hadn't returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn't show up the next day, and, despite their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing. Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone, barking, whining, and generally pestering Brownie's human family. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog. Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take "no" for an answer. Ted, Brownie's owner, was steadily harassed by the furious, adamant little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking insistently, then darting back and forth to a nearby empty lot, as if to say, Follow me! It's urgent!" Eventually, Ted followed the frantic Spotty across the empty lot, as Spotty paused to race back and bark encouragingly. The little dog led the man under a fence, past clumps of trees, to a desolate spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive -- one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leghold trap. Horrified, Ted wished he'd taken Spotty's earlier appeals seriously. Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable... Spotty had done more than simply lead Brownie's human to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found an array of dog food and table scraps, which were identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that week! Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in a single minded quest to keep his friend alive by sacrificing his own comfort! Spotty had stayed with Brownie to protect him from predators, snuggling with him at night to keep him warm and nuzzling him to keep his spirits up. Brownie's leg was treated by a veterinarian and he recovered. For many years thereafter, the two families watched the faithful friends frolicking and chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.

3 Random Act Of Kindness Worth Reading

I don’t know about you but I felt moved by reading all these stories and found worth spending time on them. I’m pretty sure that you must have your own small stories from life where you might have helped someone selflessly. Please share here in comments and I’ll take it to the world.

Still makes me cry to this day

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 of chips, said thank you and went to the car waiting in the parking lot. Having lived in my car myself, I could tell this family of four was living in their vehicle. Mom was very stressed and in tears, dad behind the wheel probably trying to save gas just sitting there. I went to my car and took out some cash, as I had recently been blessed and walked to their car. The mother had gotten out by then, so I met her standing next to the car where I handed her the bill. This woman held it up and looked at it exclaiming, OH MY GOD and burst into tears, threw her arms around me and just balled her eyes out. I held her as she cried telling her it was going to be alright, go feed the children. It still makes me cry to this day.

I am not a generous person

I was struggling to purchase a few needed items at the Winn-Dixie Store in Eustis, Fl. I had only $20.00 to my name. After she added up my bill, I told the cashier that I would need to remove an item to make it come under the $20.00, because that was all I had. The man behind me said, “here let me pay the difference” and I said “are u sure?” I will take your number, call you and go pay you back. He looked up to the ceiling saying “thank you Lord for the opportunity to help this lady and you know I am not a generous person”. As I left the store he said God bless you and pay it forward. I couldn’t stop crying from this man’s honesty and his helpfulness. It made me feel like someone cared about me and I was not alone. – Lori ❤

Chivalry is not dead!


I was driving to work when a car suddenly pulled up next to me at the traffic lights and the driver had his window down and was singing out loud to me.

I got a fright, but I turned my music down and my window down a bit and he said ‘your back tyre is nearly flat’. He gave me instructions to the nearest petrol station and when I pulled up near the air hose, he had followed me. He got out and pumped air into my flat tyre and said I needed to get it fixed ASAP. I thanked him and he drove off.

Never met him in my life and probably never will again. Telling me I’ve got a flat tyre is one thing, but to follow me and fix it himself is more than I expected. Thank you kind sir wherever you are… chivalry is not dead! – Linda
