LUNCH WITH GOD

>                                      Potato  Chips
>>                            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 root beer
>                                and  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 some chips.
>>                      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 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 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,
>>                       "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 potato chips 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!
>>                         Have lunch with God........bring  chips!
