Reader Marie K. sent us recently forwarded us this story. It’s worth taking a second of your day to read.
My boss drove a luxury car everyday, and it was my duty to greet him and to open the gates for him, as I worked as a watchman in his villa. But he never responded back to my greetings.One day he saw me opening the garbage bags outside the villa in search of any leftover food. But as usual, he never even looked at me, it was like as if he never saw anything.The very next day I saw a paper bag at the same place, but it was clean and the food inside was covered well. It was fresh, like someone had just brought it from the supermarket. I didn’t care where it came from, I just took the paper bag and I was so happy.Every day I found this paper bag at the same place with fresh vegetables and all the food we needed at home. This became my daily routine. I was eating and sharing this food with my wife and kids. I was wondering who this fool could be. How could he forget his paper bag full of fresh food everyday?One day there was a big problem in the villa, and I was told that my boss has died. There were too many guests coming to the villa that day and I didn’t find the bag of food, so I thought that one of the guests must have taken it. But the same thing happened the 2nd day, the 3rd day and the 4th day.It went on like this for a few weeks and I found it difficult to provide food for my family, so I decided to ask the wife of my boss for a raise in my salary or else I would quit my job as a watchman.After I told her, she was shocked, and asked me, how come you never complained about your salary for the last 2 years? And why is this salary not enough for you now? I gave her so many excuses but she was never convinced!Finally in the end, I decided to tell her the truth, I told her the entire story of the bag of groceries, and as to how it was my daily provision. She then asked me when the mystery bags stopped appearing. I told her after the death of her husband. And then I realized that I stopped seeing the paper bag immediately after the death of my boss. Why didn’t I ever think of this before? It was my boss who was providing this for me, all along. I guess I never thought that a person who never even replied to my greetings could ever be so generous.His wife started to cry, and I told her to please stop crying, and that I’m really sorry that I asked for a raise, I didn’t know that it was your husband who was providing me with the meals, I’ll remain as a watchman and be happy to provide my service.His wife told me, “I’m crying because I’ve finally found the 7th person my husband was giving this bag full of food. I knew my husband was giving to 7 people everyday, I had already found the 6 people, and all these days I was searching for the 7th person. And today I found out.”From that day onward, I started to receive the bag full of food again, but this time his son was bringing it to my house and giving it to my hand. But whenever I thanked him, he never replied. Just like his dad!One day, I told him THANK YOU in a very loud voice! He replied back to me to please not be offended when he doesn’t reply, because he has a hearing problem, just like his dad.”
A teacher from Mueller Elementary in Wichita, Kansas knows that education alone is not enough to get her students excited to go to school, so she decided to create a class ritual that is dubbed the coolest way to attract her students to become eager to come to her class.
Jerusha Willenborg greets each of her students with a personalized handshake.
Even more impressive, the handshake does not only consist of shaking hands, but Jerusha and her students can be seen doing every popular move from high-five to the trending dab.
She says that the personalized handshake is created to represent her sincere feelings towards every one of her students.
It is also important to build a long-lasting and strong relationship and trust and the ritual has made the students always look forward to attending the class.
Watch how this amazing teacher does her unique ritual with her students in the video here
Police officers around the nation have been participating in what is called the “Lip Sync Challenge” – and this time it was the Sherman Police Department of Texas who decided to show off their skills.
While we’ve seen many different acts, from “Uptown Funk” to Frozen’s “Do You Want to Build a Snowman,” these officers decided to go a little more old-school and bring in a classic movie scene. Although instead of in a bar, it takes place in a donut shop.
Facebook/Sherman Texas – Classic Town. Broad Horizon.
It all begins at Hot N Creamy Donuts where the cops have stopped to grab a snack. The establishment is filled of Sherman PD officers, but there happens to be one pretty lady up at the counter who’s just a regular customer.
A group of 4 men sitting at a table start discussing the Lip Sync Challenge and what they should do for it. But as it turns out, a lot of great ideas have already been taken by other departments and they really want their idea to be unique.
Facebook/Sherman Texas – Classic Town. Broad Horizon.
That’s when one of the officers spots the blonde stranger at the counter. His eyes light up as he turns to his fellow officer and says,
“Wow. Hey, look at that… She’s lost that lovin’ feeling.”
The man replies that “no she hasn’t” – but that doesn’t stop the first cop from getting out of his chair and heading towards the customer – and of course Officer “Goose” quickly follows.
Do you know where this one is going by now?
The officer then taps the woman gazing at the pastry items on the shoulder. Looking confused she spins around, and that’s when it gets exciting…

Using a donut instead of a microphone, the officer starts lip syncing to “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin.'” However, it’s not the sound of The Righteous Brothers, he’s mimicking the famous scene from the movie Top Gun lip syncing to Tom Cruise’s voice!
After a moment Officer “Goose” joins in, followed by the entire restaurant full of Sherman PD officers. It’s a classic scene that still makes you blush as the woman has a whole room of people singing “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin'” just to her.
These officers definitely deserve points for creativity as their Top Gun performance is so much fun to watch. In fact, it’s been viewed more than 7 million times already!

You can watch it for yourself in the video below. What will they think of next?
Sometimes a selfie is so fun to take and we have to go back and look at it to remember the amazing moment.
These four sons were together at a Dodger’s baseball game when they decided it would be funny to send their moms a selfie of the four of them together enjoying the game.
The mom’s got the last laugh!
The moms were also together at the same time so they created their own selfie to celebrate this moment.
This is what they sent. What do you think?
We think it was perfect! They paid attention to every detail right down to the direction of the baseball caps! The moms took every pose to the extreme, the furrowed brow, the clenched fist, the drink, as well as the thumbs up.
This is one selfie their sons will likely keep on their phones for a long time to come!
One Reddit user, ibarabi, said it reminded them of this image of two parents spoofing their son’s Facebook picture:
Some parents seem to have a lot of fun recreating pictures of their kids and think it’s pretty funny, but the kids might disagree.
Here’s a whole family getting involved in recreating a selfie:
When your brother takes a selfie and posts it what do you do? Well these brothers and father decided to go for the same look. Are they all superhero fans with the same shirt?
Have you ever spoofed someone’s selfie? Post them in the comments we would love to see them!
But let’s be honest — it’s sometimes hard to avoid hearing other people’s conversations. Especially in tight spots such as on buses, subways and airplanes.
That’s exactly where this story begins when one passenger happened to overhear another conversation between two men.
After the conversation Denny Kukich, knew what he’d heard was amazing…
Here is his story:
“I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. ‘I’m glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will get a short nap,’ I thought.Just before take-off, a line of soldiers came down the aisle and filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding me. I decided to start a conversation.Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the soldiers were seated. She stopped at my seat and asked, ‘Which do you like best – beef or chicken?’‘Chicken,’ I replied, wondering why she asked. She turned and went to the front of plane, returning a minute later with a dinner plate from first class.
‘This is your thanks..’After we finished eating, I went again to the back of the plane, heading for the rest room. A man stopped me. ‘I saw what you did. I want to be part of it. Here, take this.’ He handed me twenty-five dollars
"I put my carry-on in the luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned seat. It was going to be a long flight. 'I'm…
Not long after, I saw the Flight Captain coming down the aisle. He was searching the aisle numbers as he walked, I hoped he was not looking for me! I noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my side of the plane. He got to my row and stopped, smiled, held out his hand and said, ‘I want to shake your hand.’ Quickly unfastening my seatbelt I stood and took the Captain’s hand.With a booming voice he said, ‘I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once, someone bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.’ I was embarrassed when applause was heard from all of the passengers.Later I walked to the front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A man who was seated about six rows in front of me reached out his hand, wanting to shake mine. He left another twenty-five dollars in my palm.When we landed I gathered my belongings and started to deplane. Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man who stopped me, put something in my shirt pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a word. Another twenty-five dollars!Upon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to the base. I walked over to them and handed them seventy-five dollars. ‘It will take you some time to reach the base.. It will be about time for a sandwich. God Bless You.’Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and respect of their fellow travelers.As I walked briskly to my car, I whispered a prayer for their safe return. These soldiers were giving their all for our country. I could only give them a couple of meals. It seemed so little…A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to ‘The United States of America ‘ for an amount of ‘up to and including my life.’That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.’ ”
THANK YOU to all the service men and woman that give everything to this great country of ours. Give them a round of applause, comment “Thank you” in the comments!
The newlyweds, Prince Harry and his bride Meghan Markle made their first official trip as a married couple in May landing in Ireland for two days.
The couple got the biggest surprise of their married life when a 19 year old girl presented them with a gift.
19-year-old Chloe Mullins had been preparing to see the newly married princess for several weeks. Princess Diana’s youngest son and Meghan took the time to greet the people of Ireland during their time on the Emerald Island.
Chloe stood in the crowd with a special gift in hand. She stretched her hand out, and caught the Prince’s attention.
Chloe had spent a lot time and energy sketching an image of the happy couple. It was amazing. She is so talented she was hopeful that they would accept her gift.
Here’s the sketch:
WOW! Right?
The royal couple seemed to think so, appearing stunned by the present. Images of Meghan and Harry’s face clearly reveal how surprised and flattered they were.

What an amazing present! The couple can enjoy that for many years to come. I wonder how many gifts they get every day?
Nurses have a tough job, not only are the giving meds, taking directions from doctors, answering call bells, and sometimes even serving meals. Good nurses are also therapists. Giving words of encouragement, glimpses of hope and in some cases just a listening ear.
Brandalyn Mae Porter works in a retirement home in Texas, as a nurse. She is clearly one those who clearly has a very positive impact on her residents.
She is known for her simple, yet straightforward way and can make the residents feel at ease.
Brandalyn took a special picture of one of the resident’s hands and now it is spreading online like wildfire.
"Today I painted a new residents nails at work and as we were going over colors, she mentioned she wanted clear. The…
She was at work helping a resident wash up and asked her if she wanted her nails painted.
Here is her story of that day:
“Today I painted a new resident’s nails at work and as we were going over colors, she mentioned she wanted clear. The only thought that came to my mind was ‘CLEAR?! That’s no fun.’ I asked her why she wanted clear and she said, ‘My hands are ugly, I don’t want to draw attention to them.’ “I then carefully responded with, ‘Your hands tell the story of your life. They tell the story of love, of care and adventure. These hands have touched and held things that most people can only wish to one day.’ And with that, she went with the color pink for her nails.Sometimes what we are so insecure with, others find beauty in.“
Brandalyn’s beautiful inspiring words finally convinced the lady to paint her nails and not because her hands were beuartiful but because of what they revealed. Her life experiences!
All day long she could show off her beautiful manicure along with the many stories her hands had to tell.
Brandalyn and all Healthcare professionals deserve recognition for the important role they play in our healthcare system. It’s because of people like Brandalyn that this world is a wonderful place.
After a long, stressful day at work, a man went home exhausted to his family.
All he wanted to do was sit down in his favorite chair and watch his favorite team play football. He didn’t want to be disturbed by his kids or help his wife do any chores.
This upset his wife to no end and the couple got in a big argument.
It had happened before, but this was the last straw and the man’s wife stormed out of the house.
She didn’t come home that night, or the next morning, either.
The man’s world collapsed and suddenly he had to take care of himself. After two days alone with his kids, the man found a moment to sit down and write this letter to his wife:
My darling,Two nights ago, we had a huge argument. I was exhausted when I got home from work. It was 8:00 p.m and all I wanted to do was to lie down and watch the game.You weren’t in a good mood, and you were clearly tired after having a long day. You were trying to put the baby to sleep as the other kids were fighting, and all I did was turn the volume up.“Would it kill you to play a more active role in your children’s upbringing?” you asked, turning the television volume back down. “You can help out more around the house, too.”“Hey,” I said defensively. “I work hard all day just so you could play in the doll’s house all day.”The argument just kept going like that. I said terrible things to you that I can never take back, and you screamed, saying that you were sick of it all. So you tearfully ran out of the house, leaving me to take care of the children on my own.I was forced to feed the kids and put them to bed all by myself. When you didn’t come back the next day, I was forced to ask my boss if I could take a day off so I could take care of the children.I experienced the crying and the tantrums.I experienced having to run around so much all day that I didn’t even have a chance to shower.I experienced being forced to heat the milk, getting the kids dressed, and cleaning the kitchen all at once.I experienced being cooped up all day without speaking to an adult.I experienced the inability to sit calmly at the table to have a relaxed meal whenever I wanted, because I had to run after the kids.I experienced feeling so physically and emotionally drained that I just wanted to sleep for 20 hours straight, but had to get up a few hours after falling asleep because the baby was crying.I lived two days and two nights the way that you do, and I think I get it now.I get your exhaustion. I get that being a mother is all about sacrifice.I get that it is more tiring than being among corporate bigwigs for 10 hours and making economic decisions.I get how frustrated you must be to have to sacrifice your job and financial freedom so that you can provide for your children.I get how uncertain you are about the fact that your economic security now depends on your partner and not just you.I get how hard it is to not be able to hang out with your friends, exercise, or get a good night’s sleep.I get how challenging it is, being locked up and being forced to to watch the children while imagining what you must be missing in the outside world.I also get that you become upset when my mother criticizes how you choose to raise our children, because nobody in the world knows what is best for children like their own mother.I get that being a mother means carrying society’s greatest burdens. Being the person that nobody appreciates, values, or remembers.I write you this letter not just to tell you that you are missed, but additionally because I don’t want to go another day without telling you:“You are strong, doing an excellent job, and I admire you.”
This letter has been circulating on the internet for a while, and it’s a wonderful tribute from a man to his wife. He never understood what an unbelievable job she did before he was forced to put himself in her shoes.
I hope everyone who reads this understands what an important job it is to stay home and take care of the children.

My boss drove a luxury car everyday, and it was my duty to greet him and to open the gates for him, as I worked as a watchman in his villa. But he never responded back to my greetings.
One day he saw me opening the garbage bags outside the villa in search of any leftover food. But as usual, he never even looked at me, it was like as if he never saw anything.
