NidoKidos Official Blog: [nidokidos] THE BEST SERMONS

THE BEST SERMONS ARE LIVED,

NOT PREACHED...

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, I asked my mentor -
a very successful business man in his
70s - what his top 3 tips are for success.
He smiled and said,
"Read something no one else is reading,
think something no one else is thinking,
and do something no one else is doing."
------------------------------ ----------------------------
3. Today, after a 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 realised I didn't recognise 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."
------------------------------ -----------------------
4. 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.
------------------------------ ------------------------
5. Today at 7 AM, I woke up feeling ill,
but decided I needed the money, so I went
into work. At 3 PM 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 job. I start tomorrow.

------------------------------ -------------------------
6. 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."
------------------------------ -----------------------
7. Today, I kissed my dad on the forehead
as he passed away in a small hospital bed.
About 5 seconds after he passed, I realised
it was the first time I had given him a
kiss since I was a little boy.
------------------------------ ------------------------
8. 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.
------------------------------ --------------------------
9. Today, when I witnessed a 27-year-old
breast cancer patient laughing hysterically
at her 2-year-old daughter's antics, I suddenly
realised that I need to stop complaining
about my life and start celebrating it again.
------------------------------ -----------------------------
10. 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."
------------------------------ ------------------------
11. 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.
------------------------------ --------------------------
13. 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.
