Quote of the day:
Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind. -Henry James

A homeless shelter -Metro Atlanta Task Force, in Atlanta, U.S, is running a rooftop garden which serves as a means to teach homeless people about urban food production and sustainable technologies. According to Carl Hartrampf, a board member, 'the idea is to produce enough to feed the residents something green and health everyday'.

A bride and groom in Turkey, Fethullah Üzümcüoğlu and Esra Polat, who got married in a Syrian border province decided to invite over 4,000 Syrian refugees to eat with them and celebrate. And the groom's father said he was glad that the new couple began their life together "with such a selfless action."

Peace & serenity always.

ReplyDeleteThe rooftop garden sounds like a great and very beneficial project. The wedding feast sounds like a lovely way to start a marriage- by being kind and generous to those around you. :)

Our Canadian news told its listening audience about the Turkish bride and groom. Wonderful people!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the rooftop garden to help feed the homeless healthy food, and think it's so wonderful that the bride and groom served refugees at their wedding reception. What a giving gesture :)

I've seen the others - but the couple that got married warmed my heart. Honestly, that was so wonderful. I hope that kindness and karma comes back to them two-fold. Beautiful people!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this post! Love the rooftop garden to inspire and hopefully help feed the homeless. ADORE the couple who thought of the refugees when celebrating their wedding - an auspicious way to begin their life together. And I would so love to live in that little house of glass.........I am very intrigued by the Tiny House movement (your glass house is large in comparison), and its possibilities as an escape from huge mortgages, excess and being house-poor. Also it might potentially house some of we low income folk......we live in hope.......
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you stop by. I was getting your posts by email and then they stopped coming. Google/blogger has done this to me with several blogs. No idea why. This is such a wonderful post, as all of yours have been that I have read. You lift people up! Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteVery touching with the now married couple.

The significance of kindness cannot be over emphasized . As had been said one good turn deserves another The more given the better. One can never go wrong!

I always like your choice of quotes. This one by Henry James is one of my all-time favourites!

Very nice of the couple. Lovely post!

I like the garden and wedding ideas... the house is nice BUT I don't think I'd want that much glass around me (and it would be hard to heat in Upstate NY)
ReplyDeleteYou never fail to amaze me with your posts. Inspiring most of the times.
ReplyDeleteAll three were heartwarming. Well two of the three. The other seems to fall under the tiny house movement. And thanks for consistently stopping by my blog and leaving comments. I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the most generous wedding ever. Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteHow the Turkish newly wedded couple celebrated their marriage party is really inspiring. I just read of it on one website. God bless them.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
Greeting from Himalayan Son :)
What a truly generous act of human kindness.
