Jonathan Crain, metal detecting enthusiast, shared his passion for seeking buried treasures across the four states area. “You wouldn’t believe how many relics of our town’s past we walk right over every day. Just beneath our feet there could lie a 150-year-old quarter that meant a great deal to someone who regrettably dropped it years ago. Every old coin and object dropped has a story to go with it.”
Elizabeth Howe shared her struggles with intractable seizures and how Shiloh, her Labradoodle service dog, changed her life by bringing peace and assurance to an otherwise stressful situation. “The next thing I knew, I was on the ground! I had a seizure and was lying down on the edge of a neighbor’s yard. When I became conscious and realized the leash was no longer in my hand, my first thought was ‘where is my puppy?’ I turned my head to the right and there he was, calmly lying down between me and the road.”
Hope Aubrey shared the beauty of a heart of gratitude even through life’s biggest trials. “We cultivate a spirit of gratitude in our lives when we train our hearts and minds daily to see the good things around us. And I would be willing to bet that if you begin to count in your own life, you will find more than one good thing, too.”
Linsey Francis shared how her family of seven added a new addition through the wonderful world of adoption. “He fits in so perfectly with our family… I hear all the time that he is one blessed little boy to have us, but we are the blessed ones! When you begin the adoption process, you will be told that you will have the baby that is meant for your family. You may or may not believe this, but I do. I say it is 100% true.”
Brad Thompson from the Texarkana, Texas Fire Department shared “A Day in the Life” of a firefighter. “Since I have been a fireman, I’ve seen the best and the worst of what mankind offers. We get fussed at frequently, sometimes praised and often, all on the same call. Whenever we are called out, it’s usually on someone’s worst day, so we always try to keep that in mind.”
