In 1888, a poignant story emerged from the burial practices of the time, highlighting the deep religious divides that often shaped personal lives and even the final resting places of couples. A Protestant husband and his Catholic wife, united in life but separated by their faiths in death, faced the harsh realities of their respective religious communities, which forbade interfaith burials. Their love story took on a symbolic significance as their headstones were placed in separate cemeteries, yet they stood defiantly close to one another, reaching across the divide that religion had imposed upon them. This physical representation of their bond served as a reminder of their enduring love, transcending the barriers that society had erected between them.

The juxtaposition of the two headstones—each unique and reflective of the couple’s individual faiths—evokes a sense of bittersweet longing. The husband’s grave, adorned with Protestant symbols, and the wife’s, marked by Catholic iconography, illustrated the deep-rooted traditions and beliefs that defined their identities. Yet, despite these differences, their graves almost seemed to communicate with each other, symbolizing a love that was not bound by the constraints of religious doctrine. This image encapsulates the struggle many interfaith couples faced during this era, where societal norms often dictated personal relationships and choices, and where love sometimes had to navigate the rigid frameworks of tradition.

Today, this story and the sight of their headstones reaching across the two cemeteries resonate as a powerful testament to the complexities of love, faith, and societal expectations. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, the bonds of love can challenge the divisions that society imposes. This poignant narrative encourages a reflection on how far society has come in terms of acceptance and understanding, while also acknowledging the challenges that couples continue to face in blending different cultural and religious backgrounds. The headstones stand not only as memorials but also as symbols of love’s resilience, bridging divides that once seemed insurmountable.

Unable to leave her home due to being on palliative care with a terminal prognosis, 7-year-old Elayah was feeling down. She had her heart set on attending Public Safety Day, particularly to see the Police K-9s. When word of this reached K9 Officer Rob Prichard, he immediately started planning to bring a piece of Public Safety Day to her.

Officers Tony Hawk, Logan Westerfield, and Isaiah Mizell, along with Dixie the Praying Dog and her handler, joined Officer Prichard for this special visit.

With the sun shining outside her window, Elayah likely heard the commotion as multiple police vehicles arrived, lights flashing to capture her attention. Residents nearby also stepped outside to witness the scene.

As Officer Prichard approached her home with his K9 partner, Jocko, he could see Elayah standing at the front entry. Tears streamed down her face, but her wide smile was enough to mend a broken heart. She was overjoyed.

For the next half hour, Elayah learned about Jocko, the commands K9 handlers use, and met Dixie the Praying Dog. She also received small gifts from Public Safety Day, tokens to brighten her day.

Elayah left a mark on the officers. Despite the immense challenges she faces, she was full of energy, happiness, and gratitude, even thanking everyone who came to visit her.

This act of kindness is not uncommon among officers. The Plainfield Police Department encourages their team to take these opportunities, as it’s moments like these that make an impact—not only on the people they help but also on the officers themselves

“This is my great-grandma, Christina Levant Platt at age 100, w**ding her garden. She was born into slavery. Her “owner” was a wife that taught my great grandma to read and write secretly, which was illegal and quite dangerous at that time for both of them. She learned to read the Bible.
She had 11 children, she lost two, one son was one of the first black attorneys in US. She sent the 4 boys to college in Boston. Exceptional in those days.
She passed 5yrs before I was born but I love her as if I knew her. Family tells me she would say “ I put prayers on my children’s children’s heads”.
This apparently worked💜
Around April 12, 1861, Christina was at the 1st battle of the CIVIL WAR, in Fort Sumter at Charleston Bay, South Carolina, working in the cotton fields.
She said “the sky was black as night” from cannonball fire. She saw a man decapitated by a cannonball.
She was the water girl for the other slaves as a young girl and “ the lookout” for the slaves in the fields for the approaching overseer on horseback as they secretly knelt and prayed for their freedom.
She would watch for the switching tail of the approaching horse and would alert the slaves to rise up and return to picking cotton before he saw them.
She eventually married a Native American from the Santee Tribe. John C, Platt.
After freedom, Christina insisted upon taking her children north as she knew they would not get a good education in the south, and that’s all she cared about. She died at age 101 in 1944, where she and her husband had built a home in Medfield, Massachusetts, the first black family to move there.
With great respect, I honor my great grandmother.
So much more I could say about this miraculous woman. She gave me much strength in my hard times.
Whenever I thought I was having a hard day, I would think of her and shrug it off.
Thank you for reading one story of millions. 💜

"This little fella was having a tough morning and fell out on the floor. I seen his mother step back and look. She stated this is how he is expressing himself lately. I decided to get on his level and talk to him. He started to cry so I wiped his tears and told him it will be ok. As an adult sometimes all we want is one person to stop, get on our level and maybe wipe our tears. These children are entitled to bad days just as us, so give them that moment to bring it together. Get on someone's level today and make them smile!! Spread PEACE and LOVE you might be that person that gives them hope!"

"Today we dropped our son off at the train station to return to college for the spring semester of his freshman year.
I returned home and found the house too quiet. I missed his chatter, his guitar music, and his video games. Every corner of the house felt barren in his absence.
And then I started finding notes. Everywhere. He left me notes in all the places he knows I’ll find them. 'Have a nice bath' on the edge of the bath tub. 'You look beautiful' on the mirror of my medicine cabinet. 'I love you' inside my coffee maker.
Finding these notes has made me so happy. And I keep finding more. Each note I find I’m afraid is the last, but then I find another. When he called me with a travel update I asked him why he left them, and he told me because he doesn’t want me to forget him.
As if that’s possible.
I assume by now he has found the note I left inside the dinner I packed for him. 'Be careful and I love you.'
Because I don’t want him to forget me either."

I see many posts complaining about rude campers cutting through sites, dogs barking, screaming children and loud heaters. They usually include the comment, ‘Whatever happened to camping etiquette?’ The other side of this is ‘Whatever hapoened to kindness?’ I was at a campsite, and the individual opposite me reversed at least 6-10 feet into my space, nearly overlapping my picnic table. The rain was pouring, and they had disconnected their vehicle. I took my dog out and he apologized and said he would hook back up and move it when the rain stopped. I said absolutely not. He was there for two nights and I was there three weeks. I was visiting my dad in Nursing Care, he was visiting his Aunt in a hospital. Not a big deal. We joked that my picnic table had shade. At another CG a few months ago, a couple pulled in and he started working on his motorcycle, revving the engine for what seemed like an hour. Later I got to know the couple and the man said it was their last camping trip. He said he had stage four cancer and was visiting his kids and grandkids. I realized he was literally saying goodbye. I get tears as I type this. Do you know how happy I am I didn’t complain about his noise? As you camp, and as you post online comments, please take a moment to think if it’s more important to be ‘right’ or to be kind. Here’s a pic of the dude’s camper almost on top of my picnic table. The way the sites are arranged I shouldn’t have even been able to see his camper. But it didn’t matter and in the big scheme of things we are all fortunate we have enough money and are in good enough health to camp. Have a good weekend.

🌼💛 “Hello, I'm a dandelion.
A lot of people call me a w**d but I'm a friend and come to help you!
My flowers are the first food for insects after hibernation and unlike most other plants, I have pollen AND nectar, not merely one OR the other! And I am generous with them! 🤪😉
When you see me, remember that I'm the ONLY one who wants and can grow in that particular spot. Because:
Either the soil is too compact / hard / stomped and I want to loosen it for you with my roots.
Or there is too little calcium in the soil - don't worry, I will replenish that for you with the dying of my leaves.
Or the soil is too acidic. But I will also improve that for you if you give me the chance.
Or a mixture of the above reasons, of course. 😊
I'm here because your soil needs my help so best you let me grow without disturbing me! When everything is fixed, I will disappear again, I promise!
Are you trying to remove me prematurely with my root? However meticulous you are, I will return 2x as strong! Just until your soil is improved.
You can even tell by my growth at which stage my help is at. If my leaves are flat on the ground then I'm far from ready but if they all reach up then I'm already a long way on my way.
Something completely different is that I am 1 of the first bloomers in spring so I will announce spring / summer for you.
During the day when it's hot, I open my flowers but in the evening when it cools off I close them again quickly. In fact, if it's not hot enough during the day I won't open them at all!
My flowers are even delicious for you people by the way, did you know? I used to be called ′′honey (or gold) of the poor′′ because my flowers are so sweet in e.g. jam, sauce or salad! The internet is full of recipes - check them out.
But wait until the end of May or later before you start picking and even then, don't pick everything yet! The biodiversity and bees will be very grateful!” Unknown
I have tons of healing properties too.😊

A man was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. The plane had a layover in Sacramento. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in one hour.

Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind.

Another man had noticed him as he walked by and could tell the gentleman was blind because his Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the

entire flight. He could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him, and calling him by name, said, "Keith, we're in Sacramento for an hour, would you like to get off and stretch your legs? "

The blind man replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs."

Picture this:

All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!

True story....Have a great day and remember... Things aren't always as they appear...

An elderly man, who hadn't driven in years, decided to get behind the wheel to buy his wife of over 79 years a Valentine's gift—a small box of chocolates. Concerned for his safety, a customer at the store called the police to check on him. Deputy Gulley responded to the call and, upon learning about the man’s sweet gesture, decided to do something special for the couple.

Touched by their 79-year marriage, Deputy Gulley, along with several customers, created a gift basket for the elderly couple. He personally ensured the man got home safely and delivered the thoughtful gift to both him and his wife.

What a heartwarming act of kindness! Thumbs up to Deputy Gulley for his big heart and for going above and beyond to make their Valentine's Day truly special!

"I would like to say a massive thank you to the lady in the photo ( sorry didn't see her name) who helped me today at Morrisons in Basingstoke. I have two children that are both registered blind and are also autistic. As you can imagine shopping is not an easy thing for me to do, at the checkout both girls decided to go into meltdown and this very kind lady decided to help instead of judge. It doesn't happen very often! She distracted my daughter by letting her scan all my shopping. A dream come true for Holly who loves playing 'shops'. It melts my heart to come across people that are prepared to go the extra mile, and little acts of kindness makes a massive difference to my world.

I hope this gets back to her and she knows how much we appreciate it."

My dad was an addict. He died from an overdose in 2018.

I once got mad at him when his food stamp card was denied and I had to cover his groceries. It wasn’t about the money.

I gave him a hard time when he broke my glass measuring cup. It wasn’t about the cup.

He commented on a new haircut and I was enraged because he’d already seen it and I assumed he was too drunk to remember. It wasn’t about my hair.

I drove him from doctor to doctor, from rehab to rehab, but I was frequently short-tempered. Visibly put out by what he required of me. It wasn’t about the time.

He was homeless for many years.

He used to stand on corners with a sign and ask for whatever money or food people were willing to give.

I loved him, but I was frequently embarrassed by him.

I was mad about my childhood and what bled into my adulthood, and I found any way to take it out on him.

He has departed, and my anger towards him has dissipated. Instead, I find myself resentful of how my failure to forgive him significantly impacted our relationship. While he now enjoys freedom, I feel constrained, burdened by the grace I was unwilling to bestow upon someone who truly needed it.

Give forgiveness.

Because my regret over withholding it is stronger than all the anger I felt throughout the years.

An animal shelter posted something along the lines of "if you are an adult and don't want people to know you are playing pokemon, we will rent our shelter dogs to you for $5 an hour so it
looks like you are walking your dog." Haha, right? Here are some of the results so far:
1) They now have a waiting list of people who want to PAY FOR THE PRIVELAGE OF WALKING A DOG.
2) They have made so much money in "rental fees" that they have waived adoption fees
3) When the people renting the dogs are out walking, the post pictures of themselves playing the game on FB and Instagram. People are then coming to the
shelter asking to adopt specific dogs.
4) On at least two occasions, people have called the shelter and said "Hey, i didn't think I wanted a dog. But me and THIS dog get along REALLY well. I'm not bringing him back"
5) The shelter currently has no dogs avaliable to rent, and there is a waiting list. Because all of the dogs have been adopted!! They are currently bringing dogs in from a different shelter to be "rented"
