Greetings, I
found a story that touched my heart and also gave me a wonderful
lesson and this month I wish to share it with you. I
hope it speaks to you in a most unique fashion. Through the eyes of
children come our greatest treasures! Lunch
With God A
little boy 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
rootbeer, 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 the
old lady looked hungry, so he offered her a twinkie. She gratefully
accepted it and smiled at him. Her
smile was so pretty the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her
a root beer. 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 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. However, 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! Send this to people who have touched your life in a special
way. Let them know how important they are. Have
lunch with GOD It is amazing to me that through a simple, kind and loving act that a life can be changed. Have you changed anyone’s life today? Have you truly looked in the mirror and viewed your own vision of God…your own magnificence! Have a beautiful and special day filled with love and kindness. Take
