Lunch with God
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 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? 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 Twinkies 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,
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 being my
friend and touching my life!
