The Boy Who Wanted To Meet God...

[Guest guest]

There once was a little boy who 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 woman. She was

sitting in the park, 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. Once again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted. They sat

there all afternoon eating and smiling, yet they never said a word.

As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to

leave.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 home 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 neighbor was stunned by the look of peace on her face,and she

asked, " What did you do today that made you so happy? " She replied, " I

ate Twinkies in the park with God. " But before her neighbor responded,

she added, " You know, he's much younger than I expected. "

Will someone see God in your smile or kind deeds? Maybe they're not

even looking for God, but may see Him in the kindness you show.

Isn't that what we're here for?

It might be a stranger, someone you work with, a family member or friend. Let them see God in you. Show His love in all you do.-- OM GURU NATHASAI GURU NATHA
