A little boy wanted to meet God. He put two sets of his dresses and some packets of cakes into his bag and started his journey. He walked a long way and felt tired.
So he sat in a park on the way and opened a packet to take a cake to eat. Then he noticed an old woman sitting sad with hunger nearby, so he offered her a piece of cake.
She thankfully accepted it with a wide look and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy would see it again. After some time he offered her another piece of cake. Again, she accepted it and smiled at him.
The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
While it grew dark, the boy was frightened and he got up to leave but before he went more than a few steps, he ran back and gave her a hug and she kissed him with her prettiest smile.
When the boy opened the door, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, “What did you do today that made you look so happy?”
He answered, “I had lunch with God.”
Before his mother could say anything, he added, “You know what? Shes got the most beautiful smile Ive ever seen in my life!”
At the same time, the old woman, also with joy, returned to her home. Her son was surprised by the look of peace on her face and asked, “Mom, what did you do today that made you so happy?”
She replied, “I ate cakes in the park with God.” Before her son could say anything, she added, “You know, hes much younger than I expected.”
Too often we think too little of the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest praise or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the possibility to turn a life around.
Remember, nobody knows how God will look like. People come into our lives for a reason, for a season, or for a lifetime. Accept all of them in the same way! AND LET THEM SEE GOD IN YOU!endprint
