Do You Have Time to Waste?

This morning I had an encounter with someone who was being very petty and mean. I thought to myself, “Why? Do you have time to waste on this earth being nasty?” I don’t want to waste a single moment of my life being mean, nasty, petty, or just plain awful! I prefer to spend myContinue reading “Do You Have Time to Waste?”

Things to Teach: Kindness

Today Children #’s 1, 2, & 4 visited a Halloween-based theme park. We got there about 45 minutes after the park opened and it was crowded! Apparently, many people had the same idea to visit! We knew it would be crowded, so we tried to go with the flow. At the first open space, IContinue reading “Things to Teach: Kindness”

Something to Teach: Respect

Hello, friends! This post is going to be a little different. I have been thinking about this for a while now, and decided to jump right in! What am I talking about? This post, and subsequent “Something to Teach” posts will highlight things to teach to your children, grandchildren, neighborhood kiddos, or even things toContinue reading “Something to Teach: Respect”

Feeding Jesus, Part 2

The only time I have seen an individual attack a package of french fries (they were on top, the burger underneath, I’d assume) was when observing a teenager. TeenagersContinue reading “Feeding Jesus, Part 2”

Feeding Jesus

I realize that I have been, for the past several Saturdays, been writing about the apparitions of Our Lady, Mary, the mother of God. However, this Saturday, I find myself drawn to tell you the story of our encounter with Jesus. As children #’s 2, 3, 4, and I were entering a resale shop thisContinue reading “Feeding Jesus”

A Kindness Reminder

I had lunch the other day with a friend of mine. She is quite a bit older than me (and wiser I’d say too!) She was lamenting when people were unkind to her for no apparent reason. Not that there is ever a good enough reason to not be kind, but to this lady? IContinue reading “A Kindness Reminder”

Kindness is Never a Mistake

How many times per day, in our changing world, is someone kind? Not very often, in my experience. There have been a few notable instances where someone has been kind. There was a man in a store that overheard me talking to child #2 about where the tire air caps were kept. We eventually foundContinue reading “Kindness is Never a Mistake”

I want to talk about kindness tonight. Do you remember as a child, picking on another child who was weaker, or different in some way? Maybe you were the picked on child? Don’t you wish someone would have taught you to treat others with kindness? Don’t you wish that people would? I tell my childrenContinue reading “Kindness”
