UP Beat or Beat Up
==================
.
My husband, Edward has always been one to give the shirt off his
back, literally, or to give his last bit of change.
.
He never asks for anything in return and he is a very hard
worker and provides well for his family. Recently, I had knee
surgery and gall bladder surgery, and he worked and took care of
me and still had time for our three kids, all less than 11 years
of age.
.
It just seems that nothing ever goes his way and now we have
been kicked out of our home of six years so our landlord can
move her friends in. We have to find another place to live soon
…and I know we will.
.
I just feel so bad that no matter how hard Edward tries,
he never gets anything or anywhere.
.
I spend a lot of time trying to understand how someone like him
stays so upbeat.
.
I have prayed for guidance, and I have prayed for silly things
like for him to be chosen for something of value. I realize we
are blessed with three happy, healthy children and fairly good
health ourselves, but now my prayers are just that he may
receive a pat on the back or something just to give him a little
boost to go on trudging through what seems to be a meager

Because Nice Matters
==================
.
When I was 20 and still in college, I worked for a large chain
store where jewelry was their main product.
.
At Christmas time, it was understood that when the jewelry
department got busy, and because that’s where the greatest
margin of profit was, that all available employees were to help
with sales in the jewelry ‘pit’.
.
We were all trained to work the counters, but we got a minimum
percentage of commission compared to the regular salespeople’s
salary and commissions. This one evening, the customers were
three deep all around the four sides of the jewelry counters.
.
One by one we served the customers and it finally got to a
manageable group in about two hours. Some of my co-workers were
tired and wanted to go back to their departments. Some were
allowed to leave, but I was asked to stay and finish helping our
customers find the jewelry that they were shopping for.
.
As I was just about to walk my current customer to the registers
so that she could checkout, I caught sight of a VERY large man
in just filthy overalls.
.
He was muddy and he smelled!
.
When I returned to the sales counter, all of the other college
students that were there working were whispering and giggling
and not very discreetly.
.
I asked them what they were whispering about. And they pointed
to the man at my section of the counter. I told them not to be
so mean. He might be able to hear them. I told them to have the
Christmas spirit and be nice. Because Nice matters.
.
They were still giggling as I went to see how I could help him.
When I got to him, he really did smell. It was pretty bad, but
I figured he really wanted something as he had waited a long
time. He thanked me for coming to him and asked to see a
$40,000 aquamarine and diamond ring in the case.
.
Gasps and more giggles exploded from my co-workers when they

If I can help somebody as I pass along,
If I can cheer somebody with a word or song,
If I can show somebody he’s traveling wrong,
Then my living will not be in vain.

A Restful Place
…
A little stream runs through a garden.
The sound of its merry voice,
Making a musical background
To the birds twittering in the trees.
A garden seat placed beside the stream,
Makes a pleasant place to rest
At the end of a busy day.
A place to sit and reflect,
