I received something that touched me sooo
deeply, I was inspired to ask this question?

Have you ever received or been given such a gift that
you felt a rush of pure joy and happiness from within?
I mean to the point of uncontrollable tears...

This could be from a touch, words spoken from a loved
one, or well, do tell...
wink cool

Twice, besides the normal, when my daughter was born, etc. Both were from my first (and only) love. We used to get eachother gifts for every month we were together for almost the entire eight years we were together, but our third month together, he bought me a clock. Knowing that I love frogs, he took the clear cover off of the face, and put frog stickers and spelled my name on the face of it. I still have that clock, although it doesn't work any longer. The other was the 6th month we were together. He had the students who did the morning announcements play my favorite song at the time (Sloan - Coax Me) over the PA. He then had them say, "That was to (me) from (him) and he loves you with all his heart. SHMILY."

I will never forget how those two things made me feel cool

Yes,

Years ago, a package showed up at my door.

It was a adult sized jogger for me & my son. We got miles of use out of it. He still fits in it, but he is almost too heavy for me to push.

It was the one time in my son's life that someone thought of something that we would enjoy...a selfless gift.

From an anonymous friend.

This Is A Test
by Shawn Pearson

Life is a test,
Your journey a quest.
I know you feel stressed,
The world’s weight on your chest.
Of our Lord I make an earnest request,
that He’ll give you nothing but His best.
His love into others each day please invest,
Faith guarantees us He’ll take care of the rest

Yes, since I couldn't have a child of my own ... it was being present to welcome my nephew into the world.

It was an amazing gift from my brother and his wife.

My birthday is in November.

Around July I was straightening my daughters room. I saw something behind a bookcase and thought it had fallen behind there so I pulled it out. I was surprised to see it was a huge birthday card she had made for me. It must have taken her days. She paid attention to every detail.

I was so touched that she had thought about me so far in advance that I cried right there. I put it back and cried all over again when she presentd to me officially.

when someone told me I had indeed been present with them, and here at the same time...

When I see a child starved for love, and I show them unconditional freindship... not happy... just makes me cry, lol.

Overwhelming joy is looking into my children's eyes and know that THEY know I love them. It's the joy they bring to me when I ask them how they know...and they say "you show us". It's the joy they bring with a hug and kiss...especially from my 3 year old, who knows when she's in trouble she says...."mommy, I have to tell you something....you're pretty"...and thinks it makes things all better. Little does she know...it does.

I never felt the overwhelming joy of knowing or feeling that my mother loved me. I think I'm trying to make that up with my own children.

The joy on their faces for whatever reason they may have... those smiles...are the greatest and most powerful joy to me.
