a very sweet story,enjoy...........

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 rootbeer, 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, and 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 her

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!

And have lunch with GOD!!
