My aunt gets a lot of these little messages and sends them to me. I thought this one was really cute,so,I wanted to share it with you all.
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 Root
beer and started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old man. He was sitting
in the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him
and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer
when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he offered him a
Twinkie.
He gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. His smile was so pleasant
that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer.
Again, he 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 got up to leave,
but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back
to the old man and gave him a hug. He gave him his 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." And before his mother could respond,
he added, "You know what? He's got the most beautiful smile I've ever
seen."
Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home.
His son was stunned by the look of peace on his face and asked, "Dad,
what did you do today that made you so happy?" He replied, "I ate
Twinkies in the park with God." And before his son responded, he 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!)
And... Thanks for touching my life
