The news is full of stories that don’t do anything more than point out how horrible things are in the world. How much better would we be as people and a society if more effort were put into sharing stories that bring joy and happiness into people’s lives.

Let’s take for example the recent story of a retired substitute teacher in California who was living out of his car. Retired substitute teacher living in car given $27,000 by former student (wsbtv.com)

After giving his former teacher some money, this man went on to set up a Go Fund Me page and raised over $27,000 for the teacher.

What a gift to a man who was obviously struggling and just needed someone to give him a little boost in life.
