Visit 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 he 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 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 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?
Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home.
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.
