Persistance at its Finest

Although this article is somewhat old, it demonstrates how far a person can go if he or she has the will to succeed.  We have come a long way, yes, but we still have a way to go, as this shows. 

Have a great weekend, everyone!

A lot of Kindness

I saw this at the beginning of the week, and knew I wanted to post this as my blog.  This heartwarming story proves people who have any kind of disability have a lot to offer, only if given the chance.  I hope this uplifts your spirits as much as it did mine.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Sibling Love

I found a wonderful letter online, posted by a young woman whose older brother has Cerebral Palsy.  It shows the true depth of meaning for those who are surrounded by disability, and what profound impact it has on them.

A Holiday Hello

Greetings and Happy Holidays Everyone!

I have just returned from “over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s house I “ went!

I am replete…

…with great home cooking

…a sure sense that a respected elder can lighten any heart

…and with the knowledge that the Christmas Season holds family traditions in each family, no matter how different each may be.

Just knowing that kindness and respect are never out of season makes the Holiday Season even more special.

Therefore…

May Christmas be always with you…

in Joy that inspires,

in Peace that comforts,

and in the love of Jesus that blesses your heart.

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel.  Matthew 1:23

A Santa Who Cares

I just came upon a heart-warming story that truly defines the essence of Christmas.  Kudos to this Santa, who clearly cares about those who visit him!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
