So, What Do You Mean,
A Cup Of Cold Water?

Have you ever mowed the lawn in 90 degree heat? You’re hot, sweaty, grimy and miserable. As you view the back yard, still waiting to be mowed, you are ready to give up and go inside. And then someone hands you a cup of ice-cold water, giving you relief and hope, and you find the energy to finish the job.

It is the same way when you run a marathon. Just as you are at the limit of your endurance, just as you are ready to quit, someone hands you a cup of cold water. And from that cold, refreshing water you find the last bit of strength in you, and you cross the finish line.

Life is like this. We are all sweating, working away. We all get tired and discouraged. But, just when we are ready to quit, someone says something kind, does a good deed, hands us a cup of cold water, and we find the courage to go on. 

That is the purpose of this website. We want to encourage you, to uplift you, to help you make it through the day. Every day you will find:

A clean, family-friendly joke

A quote selected to give you something to think about.

A Bible verse

Good news stories from around the world: encouraging stories that mainstream media puts on the back page, or not at all.

We will also have sections devoted to helping you through the day:

What To Say When You Don’t Know What To Say:Sentences and phrases to write when just sending a pre-printed card isn’t enough. Ideas for sympathy cards, congratulations, thank-you’s, and more!
