THIS IS A COOL STORY I FOUND ON THE NET

LUNCH WITH GOD

An Afternoon In The Park

There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it

was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase

with Twinkies and a six-pack of root beer, and he 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 root beer when he noticed that the old

lady looked hungry so he offered her a Twinkie. 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 root beer.

Once again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted!

They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said

a word. As it grew dark, 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 Twinkies in the park with God." But before her son  responded, she added,

"You know, he's much younger than I expected."

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.....

Embrace all equally!
