“37th story”
First published: May.03.2018
Once a successful pediatric doctor was going to the bank to deposit the money he worked hard for.
In those days, there were no cell phones to make a phone call when you were out, you had to use public telephones.
The doctor didn’t have any change so he went to get some from the guy selling batteries and other small things in the corner of the street.
He didn’t need to buy any of those things the guy was selling.
He approached and said: “Sorry, can I get some change please, I need to make a phone call,” and showed his folding money.
The guy smiled gave the doctor a coin from a separate jar and said: “No need to pay me, just say; God bless. These coins are here for people who need to make a phone call.”
Then the doctor saw some other people taking coins from the guy’s jar and saying “God bless” and then going to the phone booth.
The doctor asked the battery seller: “Do you mind if I ask how much you make to be able to donate this much money every day for other’s phone calls?!!”
The guy smiled and said: “I make two hundred or more every day. I put twenty in a change in this jar. I’ve seen many people who’ve had to make a phone call and didn’t have a coin, so I decided to help others this way. I make good money. I have enough to help others.”
This battery seller was making a little money and donating every single day, and the doctor was making a fortune and had never done anything good for others.
The doctor thought he had to do something. The battery seller’s pure soul changed him.
From that day on, the doctor asked his in-need patients to pay him with a “God bless”.
What a great feeling and what a happy life the doctor has had since.
The doctor said: “GOD BLESS you the dearest battery seller for teaching me how rich you were and how poor I was.”
what a wonderful story. 🙂
Thanks Jim, world would’ve been heaven if all of us could do a little 😍
So true! But actually it seems some of our officials would try to fight again, because they fear to loose their power.
That’s exactly what it is. Fear of losing power is ruining the world 😔
This way – i know its a little bit hard to understand – i am a fan of POTUS and the us-american “stay ground” law. Give everyone a gun, but save the children, and we will have freedom. 😉 Michael
Interesting 😍
😍 I know, but the groups who want to reign will not eliminate all the weapons by themself.
I think it’s impossible to collect back all these weapons anyway.😉
I also think so. That is sad, but the reality. ;-(
😔
Hope you had a nice Sunday Laleh?
Such a great Mother’s Day with my son and daughter in law and daughter. Thanks Michael
Hey thats great to hear.Have a great week ahead. Michael
❤️
How many kids do you have?
Oh 😉 No, i am not married yet, and i think this will be the future. 😉
Lol you are free 😂
A little bit, but not really here in Bavaria. ***lol***
So you are an American living in Germany?
Oh yes, this could be true! LoL Since some years i am more feeling like an american. 😉
😊
Attachment: But only one gun, no automatic gun means “face to face”.
Lol I’m glad 😂
:-))
Beautiful story Laleh! ❤️ The happiness we get from helping others is different from making good money or having a nice holiday. It’s deeper and more heartfelt. Sometimes very touching. This is how I’ve felt and experienced.
My dear Isabelle you felt absolutely right. Helping others from heart is the most beautiful feelings 😍
Wonderful story and beautiful gesture. Yesterday only I was exploring my site to search your blog as I thought might have missed any story shared by you and today here it is!! God bless you and make us equally blessed by reading your motivated stories
Oh my dear that is very kind of you, thanks so much for your support😍
Beautiful story. Love it. A great meaning for who is truly wealthy in life.
Thanks my sweet friend 😍
That is an absolutely beautiful moral, and helps one to feel so much less cynical.
Thanks beautiful Eleanor❤️
great story telling and powerful message, thanks Laleh 😉
Thanks my dear friend ❤️
you are most welcome 🙂
A fine story with an excellent moral
Thanks dear Derrick.❤️
God bless you laleh remarkable story I enjoyed and learned.
Love u❤️
Your story illustrates quite beautifully that true wealth is so much more than money or possessions. The two words “God Bless” are a gift that can be given and received. Thank-you for another story that reminds us of the things that matter most.
Thank you sweetheart for always warming my heart with your beautiful words 😍
Bless YOU, always!
❤️
Heart warming story. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much sweetheart 😍
FYI – I nominated you for the blogging Liebster Award. I was nominated and the I had to select five bloggers to nominate so I chose you!
I believe I will put that into practice! Instead of a type of payment or reimbursement I will ask for a God Bless You instead.
Wow, amazing my friend ❤️
What a beautiful story with great massage 😊
Thanks my dear friend ❤️
Your stories always touch my heart <3
You are a sweetheart my dear ❤️
I like your story especially because “your” God does not have a name. Therefore it can be accepted by anyone all over the world. I personally think that there is just one God, only his name differs depending on the religion. Being good for others is so much more important than fighting for “the honour of God”.
I believe that too my dear. We only have one God and religions are just a title. Thanks for commenting ❤️
Wonderful story
Thanks so much ❤️
Wonderful story
Thanks dear friend ❤️
This is beautiful, what a lovely story
Thank you dear ❤️
What a wonderful life lesson. Great story!

❤️
Inspiring story.
Thanks dear ❤️
My pleasure to read😊
Amen! Beautiful story indeed! God bless you my dearest! Love you <3
Thank you sweetest Tammy.<3
You’re welcome much!
Oh my this is such a wonderful story and parable for life! It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
You are a sweetheart Anne. Thanks dear ❤️
such a humbled man, I have often experienced that people who have very little are most generous.
Me too. When we have less we are more generous in sharing. More we have more greedy we get😂thanks lovely 😍
A lovely story, and I’m the old friendly local plumber here, generous with my time and money, always my pleasure to be of service.
Ivor dear you are a sweetheart 😍
Quite an old softie 😉😊
😊
What a wonderful story and a great example to follow. 🌼
Thanks dear friend. We should all be like that.😍
Most people on this planet are POOR because few have been taught what truly enriches lives. Money is certainly necessary to pay essential bills; material possessions certainly accentuate a state of existence, but PURPOSE and MEANING in life creates PASSION and FULFILLMENT.
All of us have heard these words; few of us have applied them to help make our lives complete. For so many, simply surviving another day of stress and anxiety is an accomplishment. It doesn’t have to be this way!
Great story to share. Thank you.
Dear Jonathan thanks for sharing these beautiful thoughts and words, I definitely agree 😍
Heart touching story…
I must say, you are a very good story teller, you convey such huge messages is a very simplistic way😍❤
That’s very kind of you my dear friend ❤️
Nice thoughts here, quite uplifting. On thing, though, don’t think 15+ tags/categories allows you to feature on WordPress. I generally don’t go much above 10 combined.
Thanks dear, I didn’t really understand the 15+ tags…. Could you inform me more. Appreciate it.😍
I read on WordPress somewhere that if you put too many tags + categories they would not put your post on general pages for new readers, though it would still be visible to your followers. This applies for 15 and over tags + categories. Too many and you become invisible. Something like that, hard to explain really – not sure I understand it myself!
Ohhhhh, I didn’t know. Thanks so much for letting me know. I will reduce my tags and categories. God bless 😍
Hey Laleh, Namaste 🙂
Yet another enriching story to nourish and feed a human heart with all it needs to feel contented and at peace. Thank you for sharing your treasure so freely.
Hoping all is well wherever you be. Enjoy a wonderful weekend. Take care of one and all.
Love and be Loved. Namaste 🙂

Thank you for sharing, dear Laleh.
Love it! One fourth going forth… instead of ALL as I have been doing. Gotta pay myself. Who supports the supporter? Love that I get both sides of this story, and have been lic=vin ON both sides. Strange, how enlightenment works sometimes… always. Here’s to the reciprocal benefits of supporting myself as I move forth, paying the fourth rather than the All.
Any help is wonderful even to ourselves.😂 thanks Jordan dear for sharing your thoughts.❤️
A wonderful and heartwarming story. You inspired me and made me smile 😀. We reap what we sow. Thank you for sharing. God Bless.
