A little boy wanted to meet God.....
He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack of Coca Cola, & started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman.
She was sitting in the park, just staring at some pigeons.
The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase.
He was about to take a drink from his Coca Cola, when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her some chips.
She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.
Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a can of Coca Cola.
Again, she smiled at him.
The boy was delighted!
They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word......
As twilight approached, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave; but
before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old
woman, and gave her a hug.
She gave him her biggest smile ever.....
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was
surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him :
"What did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied:
"I had lunch with God........"
But before his mother could respond, he added,
"You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home.
Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked,
"Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
She replied!
"I ate potato chips in the park with God."
However, before her son responded, she added,
"You know, he's much younger than I expected."
Consideration.....
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime!
Try.... (at least once, ) to embrace all equally!
Have 'lunch with God' ....... bring chips.
Touch people in your life, -in a special way.
Let them know how important they are.
You may be going through a tough time .......right now but,
by Blessing others in any 'small way' might perhaps be a way to Bless yourself in more than only one way....
God can Bless you in a way, -that only He can....!
Keep the Faith.
Shalom
