Lunch with God

Take 60 seconds to read this wonderful story. It will give you time

to settle your brain, gather your thoughts, calm down and be blessed.

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where

God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a

six-pack of juices and 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 juices when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so

he offered him some chips. He gratefully accepted it and smiled at

him.

His smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he

offered him juice. Again, he smiled at him. The boy was

delighted!

They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.

As twilight approached, 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 potato chips 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,

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!

Have lunch with God.......bring chips.
