Inspirational Stories- Never Judge Others

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call as soon as possible, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father going and coming in the hall waiting for the doctor. Once seeing him, the dad yelled, “Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have the sense of responsibility?”

The doctor smiled and said, “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came the fastest I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work.”

“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??” said the father angrily

The doctor smiled again and replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Book “From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed be the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace.”

“Giving advice when we’re not concerned is so easy,” murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy.

“Thank goodness! Your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any question, ask the nurse!!”

“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved  your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”  

NEVER JUDGE ANYONE BECAUSE You never know how their life is or as to what is happening or what they’re going through.

Moral stories- why Shout??

Why shout???****

A theology professor was teaching about proverbs 15:1. He asked his
students, *"Why do we shout in anger?* Why do people shout at each other
when they are upset?

The students thought for a while. One of them said, because we lose our
calm, we shout for that. "But why shout when
the other person is just next to you?" asked the professor.

"Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you
shout at a person when you are angry?"

The students gave some other answers but none satisfied the professor.
Finally he explained, *"When two people are angry at each other, their
hearts psychologically distance themselves.* To cover the distance, they
must shout to be able to hear each other. *The angrier they are, the
stronger they will shout to hear each other through that great distance.*

Then the professor asked, *"What happens when two people fall in love? *They
don't shout at each other but talk softly, why? *Because their hearts are
psychologically very close.* The distance between them is very small. The
professor continued, "When they love each other even more, what happens?
They do not speak, only whisper and they even get even closer to each other
in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each
other and that's all....

*So next time you shout to a loved one, know that you are creating distance
between your heart and that person's heart. *

*Proverbs - A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up
anger.*****

Moral stories- Effective communication

The Parrot

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly Mother. The first said, "I built a big house for our Mother."The second said," I sent her a Mercedes with a driver."The third smiled and said, "I've got you, both beat.

You know how Mom enjoys the Bible, and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took 20 monks in a Monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute Rs.1,00,000 a year for 10 years, but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it."Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks:

" Dearest First Son," she wrote the first son, "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but have to clean the whole house."

" Dearest Second Son," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel. I stay home all the time, so I never use the Mercedes and the driver is so rude!"

"Dearest Third Son," she wrote to her third son, "You were the only son to have the good sense to know what your mother likes, that chicken was delicious.....Moral: Effective communication is very important.

Else, all the pains we take to pass the information may go in vain.
