Subject: Twinkies, Root Beer and God
Twinkies, Rootbeer & God
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 root
beer 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 root beer when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he
offered him a Twinkie. He gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. His smile was
so pleasant that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer. Again, he 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 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." And 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 asked, "Dad, what
did you do today that made you so happy?" He replied, "I ate Twinkies in the
park with God." And 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.
Send this to people who have touched your life in a special way. Let them
know how important they are. (Have lunch with God!) And... >Thanks for
touching my life !!!
This article has been around for awhile and every time someone sends it to me....well it just makes my day, maybe it will yours.
