Hello, my friends, and welcome to the Live Inspired podcast Monday Morning Moments with John O'Leary.

I record these so you and I can begin our days and weeks in awe and on fire with the burst of inspiration.

Let's do it this week as we kick off this Monday morning moments with a question.

Here it comes.

What was the most important thing anybody ever did for you?

Let me ask you one more time. What was the most important thing anybody ever did for you? Let me ask it one more time. What was the most important thing anybody

ever did for you? I was asked this question by a 15-year-old student at Desert Christian School

in Tucson, Arizona last month. For the past hours, so they had heard a story about

profound challenge and tragedy, as well as overwhelming grace and love.

They heard a story of repeated failures and continual overcoming.

They had heard the story ultimately of individuals faithfully showing up when I desperately needed encouragement,

what those people did, the impact they made, and what it means for the rest of us today.

So what was the most important thing anybody ever did for me? That was her question.

Well, I stumbled and rambled a bit about my parents and their unfailing wisdom and love

they provided my siblings and the support that they gave, the hospital staff and the healing

they offered, the volunteers and the kindness they showed, my wife, Elizabeth Grace, Beth,

and the unconditional love she continues to give.

And then before Rocky and this poor student completely back to sleep with this long answer,

I summed it up pretty succinctly with this.

You know, when an impossibly difficult situation happened,

when it seemed totally impossible for anything good to come out of it, an amazing group of people said yes to serving, they actually showed up.

They had the audacity to come back, and then they even brought friends.
