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 big bag of
potato chips 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 some chips. The
man gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.
His smile was so pretty 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 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 man, and gave him a hug. He gave him his
biggest smile ever..
When the boy opened the door to his 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? 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 he asked,
"Dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?
He replied "I ate potato chips in the park with God." However, 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!
Have lunch with God.......bring chips.>
GOD BLESS
