It is one story that has been re-told for years... but it is worth reading every time. 32 years ago, Bopsy lost his life to leukaemia. But what happened before that is incredibly heart melting.
Mother, were you this cold for me?
On a cold Christmas Eve in 1952, when Korea was in the throes of civil war, one young woman struggled along a village street, obviously soon to deliver a child. She pleaded with passers by,

(A quest to understand the purpose of life: A real story to encourage you)
Why was I born?
by Hiroyuki Ishikawa, Japan
I joined the Salvia Mind Control School. While there it was as if I saw before me people that died long ago. It seemed as if they came up to me to speak to me. In fear, as this happened, I cried out to the gods, "Please help me! Please help me!" But there was no answer.

Mother's True Love Story
This is a true story of Mother’s Sacrifice during the China Earthquake. After the Earthquake had subsided, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman’s house, they saw her dead body through the cracks.

The Christmas of 1949 we didn’t have a tree.
My dad had as much pride as anybody, I suppose, so he wouldn’t just say that we couldn’t afford one. When I mentioned it, my mother said that we weren’t going to have one this year, that we couldn't afford one, and even if we could – it was stupid to clutter up your house with a dead tree. I wanted a tree badly though, and I thought – in my naïve way – that if we had one, everybody would feel better.

Attitude is Everything
Schwartz Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.

The Power of Prayer
A missionary on furlough told this true story while visiting his home church in Michigan...
"While serving at a small field hospital in Africa, every two weeks I travelled by bicycle through the jungle to a nearby city for supplies.
