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. 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." However, before 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. > > > > >
