An inspiring story for all to read
I have not updated this in a while, and that is partly because no one has read it, so I hope that in the next month or so, a few people will leave comments, and help me out.
I love to read inspiring stories and this particular one really made me smile and be thankful for what I have. I hope you enjoy it as well.
Limits of Love
After the divorce, her teenage daughter became increasingly rebellious. It culminated late one night when the police called to tell her that she had to come to the police station to pick up her daughter, who was arrested for drunk driving. They didn't speak until the next afternoon. Mom broke the tension by giving her daughter a small gift-wrapped box. Her daughter nonchalantly opened it and found a small piece of a rock. She rolled her eyes and said, "Cute Mom, what's this for?" "Here's the card," Mom said. Her daughter took the card out of the envelope and read it. Tears started to trickle down her cheeks. She got up and gave her mom a big hug as the card fell to the floor. On the card were these words: "This rock is more than 200 million years old. That's how long it will take before I give up on you."

I find that sometimes hearing a really positive story like this one helps to take away some of the negativity that is associated with all the stories in the news.
As I continue to read the paper pretty much every day, I continue to look for that positive story that catches my eye. There was one just this last week about a rabbit, who is a pet. The rabbit was making a lot of noise in the middle of the night, and the husband got up to quiet the pet rabbit down, and while he was up, he noticed that his wife had fallen unconscious on the floor,
and after spending time in the hospital recovering, she had a form of diabetes, and thanks to the rabbit, the husband was able to save his wife.
Thanks for reading these, and I hope you get inspired today. Please write me about it.
