Love this shot by Andrew MacNaughtan - as usual, us laughing together - hard to believe it’s been 3 years - more important than ever to remember the good moments with those we’ve lost.

As we are coming up on the holiday season, this is your annual reminder to be nice to hospitality employees, even when they get it wrong.

Working countless hours, eating on your feet, missing out on festivities with friends and family, and wearing yourself thin are things all hospitality workers will be familiar with over the next couple of months.

So, if they do get it wrong, and your coffee comes with the wrong syrup.. or they forget to swap your salad for chips, or, God forbid, you order no ice .. and your drink comes with ice, remember how hard they're working to try and make your experience special.

Be nice. It costs nothing.

So I just read this on the Isaac Foundation site. This is so true & I can relate to this little boy & his Momma. When my son cries & is empty I try to fill him up. I can’t work anymore because I’m disabled, my son is 30 & has graduated school. But we still get emptied because of life & stress that comes with life.
So please take the time to read this. And if I’m wrong in sharing this, I’ll
take it down, because I wouldn’t want to offend the person who wrote this.

You probably should read this!

The whole world paused this morning. Do you know why? Because an 8 year old’s tank was empty.

The boys had already started their school day at their desks and I was preparing to leave for work when I noticed my littlest standing in the bathroom wiping his face.

I paused at the door and asked if he was okay. He looked up with tears silently dripping and shook his head. When I questioned if something happened, again he shook his head.

So I sat on the side of the tub and pulled him in my lap. I told him sometimes our heart tanks feel empty and need to be refilled.

He cried into my chest and I held tight.

I asked if he could feel my love filling him up?

A nod, and tears stopped...

I waited a minute...

‘Has it reached your toes yet?’

He shook his head no...

‘Okay man. We will take as long as you need. Work doesn’t matter right now. School isn’t important either. This right here, is the most important thing today, okay? Filling you back to the top. Is that good?’

*nods*

One more minute...

‘Is your heart full of mamas love now?’

‘Yeah...’

*looks in his eyes* ‘I see it shining in there, you’re full to the top, and you’re smiling!’

You may not be 8 - you may be 28, 38, 48 or whatever- but ALL of us run on empty just like he did. His week was so busy and so full and his little soul was just dry!

We all have to pause, and take a moment to refill with the good things. Scripture, prayer, sunshine, worship, song, laughter, friends, hugs. Refill your empty, or you’ll find those emotions (tears, anger, snappy words) overflowing with no reason why.

Take a moment. Refill. It’s the most important part of your day!

Yay to Jet2.

Leo and his carer were denied access to the flight and told there wouldn't be another opportunity to fly for four more days.

This is so scary, I hope they find this poor man.

Cincinnati police are asking for help in their search for a missing man with autism and schizophrenia.
