I'll make this quick....my daughter lost her beloved gift from her GMA that passed away a week before Xmas. A Seattle Seahawks scarf that she absolutely loved! It completely broke her heart that its gone.
Her and my wife regularly go to the McDonald's in Napavine Washington and order her French fries and hamburger with no meat! (I know its weird) Zac the manager is always there to accommodate her request with an extra treat for her!
Today was a special visit.........
His coworker Brittany had seen the post on Facebook of her lost Seattle Seahawks Scarf and said this is the girl who comes here all the time for her French fries!
This blessed gentleman took it upon himself to buy her another scarf and SURPRISE her on the next visit! He told her it could never replace the lost one but didn't want her not to have one.
As a father with a daughter with Autism, and all that comes with it, Sir my hat goes off to you and your generosity and your love for the community! McDonald's should be blessed to have you as a Manager and you Zac deserve so much in life! You have made my daughter a fan for life. She already wants to work for McDonald's when she grows up.
To Zac and Brittany thank you from the bottom of my heart! My wife and I have a letter for you managers to show our gratitude!
I can only hope that the right people at McDonald's see this and give him the recognition that Zac deserves

This is my friend Harold! Not the guy in the man lift but the one behind him in the wheelchair on the sidewalk. He stays in the nursing home across the street from where we’re building.
Since day one when I arrived on this job site I’ve noticed him sitting there every morning from 7 a.m. he takes lunch when we do and doesn’t leave until I shut the crane down and head out. I originally thought to myself, 'He’s just a curious old man and wanting to enjoy his days outside vs. being cooped up in his room.'
Well after a couple days, I myself got curious, so I walked over and introduced myself to him. We had a long conversation, two and a half hours worth, but long story short… Harold is nearing the end. His heart valves are clogged and some disease has been eating at him for years. (I don’t know the name of it) and when he was able to work before everything had happened to him health wise he was a crane operator. He said he enjoys seeing what he use to love to do for a living and never thought he’d be able to see or be around a crane again and let alone be so close to see one in action.
He has family, two daughters and a son who haven’t seen him for the last seven years he’s been in a nursing home. So I made Harold a deal! Originally, he wanted to be put on payroll! As I explained to him that wasn’t possible I quickly came to what I thought was a fair agreement.
Our deal is this, Harold ran cranes for over 50 years and no matter how good you think you are at something there’s always more to learn. So I told Harold every day after work I’ll sit with him for a little bit so he can critique me and judge me on how I did for that day (give him something to talk about that he enjoys) while I also get to learn from him and In return I would bring him a black coffee every morning for as long as I’m here and buy him lunch twice a week from wherever he chooses.
He didn’t skip a beat before, ‘ABSOLUTELY!’ came out of his mouth.
I guess I’m writing this post because if I would have never walked over to him, I would have never gotten to know him. I’m thankful to have the opportunity to make this mans last days enjoyable. Filled with purpose and to be able to help smile again.
I challenge any of you on here to not be like I was in the beginning and don’t be afraid to make someone else’s day better. Always try to enlighten someone’s spirits. When God chooses to take this man home I’m happy knowing I’ve been placed here at this location to make his days better. I’m happy with that.

How Many Times Can a Heart Break?
"My heart breaks as I stand before an empty cage, thinking of the animal that once lived there—one of many who waited for a happy ending that never came.
My heart breaks as I pet a dog who faces so many odds: his breed, size, color, and age. Yet, he still looks at me with hope, eager to be my friend.
My heart breaks as I sit on the kennel floor, reaching out to an animal who only knows to flinch, expecting something bad to happen.
My heart breaks as I drive away, wishing I could take them all home, but knowing that even if I did, the cages would just fill up again.
Before I return, the pieces of my heart will shift and settle into a new place, held together by sheer determination and stubbornness.
Because in rescue, I’ve learned that the answer to 'How many times can a heart break?' is simple: as many times as it takes."

I hit my lowest point when I realized I hadn’t heard my name spoken in two weeks—except by my dog, Bixby. Despite everything, he made me feel like I still mattered. Even when we were evicted and shelters turned us away, we spent nights under bridges and in alleys, with nothing but a tarp and each other. He stayed by my side, never once leaving, even when food was scarce. One time, after going without food for two days, someone tossed us a sausage biscuit. I broke it in half, but Bixby pushed his half toward me, patiently waiting.
That moment truly broke me, and I started making signs, not to ask for handouts, but to explain. People saw the dirt and my tattered clothes, but they didn’t see Bixby—my constant companion through it all. Then, last week, as I was about to move, a woman in scrubs stopped and said five words that seemed almost unreal.

This afternoon at 4:34 pm, Rachel went to dance with Jesus.
I just know that He was awaiting her arrival with arms wide open and a big ole smile and as they embraced He whispered in her ear, “Well done Rachel. Well done."
She fought so dang hard. She gave it everything she had. And everything she had was so dang much.
Today, Rachel received her crown. And I think it’s safe to say that they are having a dance party in Heaven like Heaven has never seen before.
Today is so hard. All of this is so hard hard. I’m really not sure how to do life without her.
I’m struggling to find the good in this but all that I keep thinking is that if the day Jesus died was eventually called good, then maybe one day my worst day, today, will be called good too.
I met Rachel when I was 20 and I knew the moment that I laid eyes on her that no one could ever love her more than I would.
After a long hard chase, I somehow talked her into marrying me and I knew at that moment that no one could ever love her more than I would.
We had 3 precious babies, Hadley, Cooper and Macklin, and each time we became parents again I was certain that no one could ever love her more than I would.
We got diagnosed with cancer just under 2 years ago. And as each day went by and I watched her continue to fight for her life, I fell harder and harder for her. I had zero doubt that there wasn’t a person on the planet that could love her more than I would.
And right now, at this very moment, the love I have for her is unexplainable.
And as I sit here, watching her rest in such peace, with tears rolling down my face, I can’t help but smile knowing that for the first time in a very long time, Rachel has no more pain. She will cry no more tears. She will suffer no more. She doesn’t have to worry about a thing. The cancer is gone and is never coming back.
Today Rachel beat cancer for good.
And as hard as today, and the coming days will be, I take joy in the fact that at 4:34 pm, Rachel was finally in the arms of the only one that loves her so much more than I ever could. "

A farmer had some puppies to sell, so he made a sign advertising the four pups and went to nail it to a post at the edge of his yard. As he was hammering the last nail, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down to see a little boy.
"Mister," the boy said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."
The farmer wiped the sweat from his brow and replied, "Well, these puppies come from good stock and cost quite a bit."
The boy lowered his head for a moment. Then, digging into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer.
"I’ve got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"
The farmer smiled and said, "Sure." He whistled, calling out, "Here, Dolly!"
Dolly came running out of the doghouse, followed by four little puppies. The boy pressed his face to the fence, eyes gleaming with excitement. As the puppies approached the fence, he noticed something else moving inside the doghouse.
A smaller puppy slowly emerged, sliding down the ramp awkwardly, trying its best to catch up with the others.
"I want that one," the boy said, pointing to the smaller pup.
The farmer knelt beside him and said, "Son, you don’t want that puppy. He won’t be able to run and play like the others."
The boy stepped back, rolled up one leg of his trousers, and revealed a steel brace on his leg, attached to a special shoe. Looking up at the farmer, he said, "I don’t run so well either, and he’ll need someone who understands."
With tears in his eyes, the farmer picked up the little pup and gently handed it to the boy.
"How much?" the boy asked.
"No charge," the farmer said softly. "Love doesn’t cost a thing."

Abandoned Pit Bull Puppy Who Couldn’t Walk Learns To Smile Through His Pain
This puppy was purchased when he was only 4 weeks old so that he could be raised to be mean. When that didn’t work out, his owner simply abandoned him
This pit bull puppy was sold when he was only 4 weeks old. He had a congenital deformity that prevented him from walking so his owner gave him to Pibbles Plantation Rescue with the instructions that if they could make him “meaner,” he’d one day take him back.

Christmas Eve, I was home late from a family party. My horses had given up on me for feeding, so I was walking through my back woods looking for them when I heard a meow. I have barn cats, but this wasn't a familiar meow.
I called, and there was a little cat I could barely see in the dark, hovering around me about 10 feet away but afraid to come close. I led her back up to the farm buildings, where there are several barn cat feeding stations, and plugged her into one.
The next morning, Christmas Day, when I went out, she wasn't there at first, but when I called, she popped up from a corner of the garage, and I got my first good look at her in daylight. Small tabby with boots, very frightened, very hungry. She was too jumpy to pet but was happy to eat.
After morning chores, I was eating breakfast myself when she suddenly landed on the front door and started climbing it, absolutely howling. After a few minutes of this, I opened the door. She walked right on in. From the first, she was obviously an experienced housecat. Knew all rules, used the box, friendly with my housecats. She was instantly tamed inside, no longer jumpy at all, and she hopped straight into bed the first night. Being outside was what had her panicked.
I advertised for a lost cat, but it's a very rural area, no houses nearby. Nobody has answered in over a month, and by now, I'm sure she was driven to the country and dumped. I took her to the vet to be spayed, and they said she is just under a year old. I named her MagnifiCat, in honor of Christmas, and call her Maggie.🥰

I found him curled up in the backseat.
He wouldn’t look at me. Not once. He kept his face hidden—like he thought he’d done something wrong. Like he was waiting for pain.
I don’t know what happened to him. But his silence said everything.
Dogs aren’t born like this. They become like this.
Broken by neglect. By fear. By violence. Or simply, by being forgotten.
He didn’t want food. Or affection. He just wanted to disappear.
As if staying small and quiet was the only way to survive.
But still… he let me help him.
I took him somewhere safe. He ate. He rested. And one day, I know he’ll lift his head and meet my gaze. Not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But one day.
And when he does, it’ll mean everything.
👉 This dog deserves love. Just like all of them.
👉 No animal should have to hide to feel safe.
👉 Abandonment is not a solution—it’s a wound that takes time, trust, and patience to heal.
So if you ever see a stray, a dog who won’t meet your eyes—don’t look away.
Look with kindness. Reach out. Let them know not all humans will hurt them.
Because healing starts with one act of compassion. 🐾

How much do you love your pet? Alisa and her elderly dog
The story is somehow more difficult than the others. because it is not about happy moments but shows how powerful the bond between the dog and its owner is. This Ukrainian lady and her dog got lots of attention from outsiders. This has become a highlighted news.
Don’t be confused. I will share what the story is.
