Here are some of short inspirational stories that were sent via SMS.

"One night, a man was drunk and shot his wife,
then shot himself. This was all witnessed by their
only daughter. The government sent
the child to a religious orphanage to
help relieve the child of shock. The nun there
taught the child, and one day showed her a picture
of Jesus for the first time.
The nun was surprised to hear the child say,
"I know that man."
So she asked, "Who is he?"
The child answered, "He was the man holding me tight
the night my parents died."

Touching, isn’t?

“One day, frogs arranged a wall climbing competition.
The wall was so high that spectators were shouting
that it’s impossible for a frog to reach the top.
One by one frogs began to fall due to exhaustion
and one by one they gave up except for one tiny frog.
This frog was very exhausted but kept climbing.
Spectators told him to give up but he didn’t.
The frog eventually reached the top.
They wanted to know how he did it and found out that
he was deaf.”

Lesson: Do not listen to dream stealers. Go for it!

Here’s a local one:

“Minsan nagtalotalo ang mga saging kung sino ang pinakamasarap.
Sabi ni latundan, small but sweet daw siya.
Sabi naman ni lacatan, big but sweeter siya.
Nalungkot si saba kasi hindi siya sweet, kailangan pa iluto atbp.
Kaya nag-walk out siya. Nakasalubong niya si brown sugar.
Ikwinento ni saba ang nangyari. Tumawa si brown sugar.
Sabi niya,
“It doesn’t matter how good you are.
What matter is how you make other special because of you.
You made me special.”

Last but not the least, this is the most touching for me:

“ A swimmer went to practice.
The lights were all off. Only the moonlight was bright.
He climbed up to the highest diving board, turned his back to the pool and extended his arms out.
He noticed that his shadow formed a cross shape.
Instead of diving, he knelt down and cried out to GOD to come into his life. Suddenly,
someone walks in and turned the lights on.
He cried even more when he saw that the
pool had been drained for repairs.”
