Inspiring Story: Creation of a Mother

By the time the Lord made mothers, He was into 

the sixth day working overtime.  An Angel  appeared and said 

"Why are you spending so much  time on this one?" 

And the Lord answered and  said, "Have you read 

the spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, 

but not elastic; have 200 movable parts, all replaceable; 

run on black coffee and leftovers; have a lap that can hold 

three children at one time and that disappears when she 

stands up; have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee 

to a broken heart; and have six pairs of hands."

The Angel was astounded at the requirements for this one. 

"Six pairs of hands! No way!"  said the Angel.

The Lord replied, "Oh, it's not the hands that are the problem.

  It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers must have!"  

"And that's on the standard model?" the Angel asked. 

The Lord nodded in agreement, "Yep, one pair of eyes 

are to see through the closed door as she asks her children 

what they are doing even though she already knows. 

Another pair in the back of her head are to see what she needs 

to know even though no one thinks she can. And the third pair 

are here in the front of her head.  They are for looking at 

an errant child and saying that she understands and loves him 

or her without even saying a single word." 

The Angel tried to stop the Lord  "This is too much work 

for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish." 

"But I can't!" The Lord protested, "I am so close to finishing 

this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already 

heals herself  when she is sick and can feed a family of six 

on a pound of hamburger and can get a nine year old to stand 

in the shower."  

The Angel moved closer and touched the woman, 

"But you have made her so soft, Lord." 

"She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough. 

You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?" asked the Angel.  

The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, 

she will be able to reason, and negotiate."

The Angel then noticed something and reached out and 

touched the woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like You have 

a leak with this model. I told You that You were trying 

to put too much into  this one."

"That's not a leak." the Lord objected.  "That's a tear!" 

"What's the tear for?" the Angel asked.  

The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, 

her sorrow, her disappointment, her pain, her loneliness, 

her grief, and her pride."   

The Angel was impressed.  "You are a genius, Lord.  You thought 

of everything for this one.  You even created the tear!"

The Lord looked at the Angel and smiled and said, 

"I'm afraid you are wrong again.  I created the woman, 

but she created the tear!"

Powerful Inspiring Story of Two Frogs

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, 

and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other 

frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs 

that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored 

the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with 

all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, 

that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs 

took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. 

He fell down and died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. 

Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop 

the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally 

made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, 

"Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that 

he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him 

the entire time.

This story teaches two lessons:

1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. 

An encouraging word to someone who is down 

can lift them up and help them make it through the day.

2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be 

what it takes to kill them.

Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross 

your path. The power of words... it is sometimes hard 

to understand that an encouraging word can go such 

a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob 

another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. 

Special is the individual who will take the time 

to encourage another.

Inspiring Story: A Box Full of Kisses..

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished 

his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of gold 

wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became 

infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box 

to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, 

the little girl brought the gift to her father the 

next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy." 

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, 

but his anger flared again when he found out the box 

was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, 

when you give someone a present, there is supposed 

to be something inside? The little girl looked up at him

 with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy, 

it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. 

They're all for you, Daddy."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his 

little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. 

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of 

the child. It is also told that her father kept that 

gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever 

he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss 

and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

Lesson from the Inspiring Story: 


In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, 

have been given a gold container filled with 

unconditional love and kisses... from our children, 

family members, friends, and God.
