These eleven short stories are all very good stories
and make us think twice about the daily happenings in our lives as we deal with
others!!
1. Today, I interviewed my
grandmother for part of a research paper I'm working on for my Psychology class.
When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said;
"Success is when you look back at your life and
the memories make you smile."
2. Today, after my 72 hour shift at the fire
station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a hug. When I
tensed up, she realized I didn't recognize her. She let go with tears of
joy in her eyes and the most sincere smile and said;
"On 9-11-2001, you carried me out of the World
Trade Center ."
------------------------------
3. Today, after I watched my dog get run over by
a car, I sat on the side of the road holding him and crying. And just
before he died;
he licked the tears off my face.
------------------------------
4. Today at 7AM, I woke up feeling ill, but
decided I needed the money, so I went into work. At 3PM I got laid
off. On my drive home I got a flat tire. When I went into the trunk
for the spare, it was flat too.
A man in a BMW pulled over, gave me a ride, we
chatted, and then he offered me a job. I start tomorrow.
------------------------------
5. Today, as my father, three brothers, and two
sisters stood around my mother's hospital bed, my mother uttered her last
coherent words before she died.
She simply said, "I feel so loved right
now. We should have gotten together like this more often."
------------------------------
6. Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead as he
passed away in a small hospital bed. About 5 seconds after he passed,
I realized it was the first time I had
given him a kiss since I was a little boy.
------------------------------
7. Today, in the cutest voice, my 8-year-old
daughter asked me to start recycling. I chuckled and asked,
"Why?" She replied, "So you can help me save the
planet." I chuckled again and asked, "And why do you want to
save the planet?"
Because that's where I keep all my stuff," she
said.
------------------------------
8. Today, when I witnessed a 27-year-old breast
cancer patient laughing hysterically at her 2-year-old daughter's antics, I
suddenly realized that,
I need to stop complaining about my life and start
celebrating it again.
------------------------------
9. Today, a boy in a wheelchair saw me
desperately struggling on crutches with my broken leg and offered to carry my
backpack and books for me. He helped me all the way across campus to my
class and as he was leaving he said,
"I hope you feel better soon."
------------------------------
10. Today, I was feeling down because the
results of a biopsy came back malignant. When I got home, I opened
an e-mail that said, "Thinking of you today. If you need me,
I'm a phone call away."
It was from a high school friend I hadn't seen in 10
years.
------------------------------
1`1. Today, I was traveling in Kenya and I met a
refugee from Zimbabwe . He said he hadn't eaten anything in over 3 days and
looked extremely skinny and unhealthy. Then my friend offered him the
rest of the sandwich he was eating.
The first thing the man said was, "We can share
it."
------------------------------
The best sermons are lived, not preached.

I am glad I have 'you' to send these to.
