THIS STORY WILL WARM YOUR HEART.....

The Moment the Alzheimer Patient Remembers Her Daughter Will Melt Your Heart

It's the most painful part of Alzheimer's, when your own parent can't remember your face, let alone your name. But for one daughter of a dementia patient, she got to experience the joy of having her mother recognize her, if only for a moment.

YouTube user Kelly Gunderson uploaded this touching video of a visit with her mother, simply stating, "My 87 year old mother with Alzheimer's knew who I was, even if just for a moment."

The short clip shows the moment Gunderson's mother remembers her daughter's name, much to her daughter's surprise. "Didn't I name you Kelly?" the mother says.

"I thought a while ago you didn't know who I was?" Gunderson says.

Her mother tries to explain her struggle with the disease, which ultimately robs sufferers of the ability to remember names. She jokes that she has moments when, "I'm thinking, 'My Lord, what in the world am I thinking about?'"

The two share some heartwarming "I love you's" as they lay side-by-side in what appears to be a hospital bed, saying, "Oh isn't it wonderful."

Beautiful.

ONE SUNDAY THE CHURCH GAVE BACK....

This Church Needed The Money, But Gave $500 To Every Member To Go Do Good In The World

After receiving an unexpected windfall of $1.6 million, a small Chicago church took a giant leap of faith earlier this month: it choose to give a chunk of the money away to congregants, with little more than a modest request for how it was to be spent.

Members of the the LaSalle Street Church in Chicago's Near North Side were shocked when Pastor Laura Truax told them during services September 7 that each "actively engaged" member of the church would receive a check for $500. The money came with no conditions, but recipients were encouraged to use it for good works.

"It feels like a faith experiment more than a social experiment," Truax told The Huffington Post. "We say we trust the Gospel, we say we trust each other. But I was wondering, 'Is this going to be a waste of money?'"

Church elders deliberated for months over how to spend the money -- an unexpected windfall from a real estate investment made in the 1970s -- mulling options that included a housing investment and an Ebola clinic in Africa. They agreed that while they'd eventually determine how to give all the money away, 10 percent would go to the congregation up front. In all, the church wrote 320 $500 checks to members deemed "actively engaged" with their "time, talents or treasures."

Invoking the Biblical parable of Jesus feeding multitudes with nothing but a small amount of food, the money quickly became known to the social justice-minded congregation as the "Loaves and Fishes" checks. And church members immediately started thinking of ways the money could make a bigger impact in the world.

One church member, John Bakker, wants to use his $500 to help the non-profit World Vision create an Ebola education campaign in West Africa by leveraging social media the way the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge did so successfully.

YOM KIPPUR: DAY OF ATONEMENT

YOM KIPPUR: A DAY OF ATONEMENT; OCTOBER 3-4, 2014

YOM KIPPUR October 3-4, 2014

Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year-the day on which we are closest to God and to the quintessence of our own souls.

It is the Day of Atonement-“for on this day He will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed from all your sins before God” (Leviticus 16:30).

For nearly twenty-six hours,-from several minutes before sunset on 9 Tishrei to after nightfall on 10 Tishrei-we “afflict our souls”: we abstain from food and drink, do not wash or anoint our bodies, do not wear leather footwear, and abstain from marital relations.
