Food For Thought For Monday, February 20th, 2012

One day a poor boy went begging from door to door to feed his hungry stomach.He knocked on a door & a lovely lady opened,instead of asking for food he asked for a glass of water.The woman thought he looked hungry so she brought him a glass of milk,after drinking he said “thank you,i owe you” She replied “you owe nothing,no payment needed for act of kindness” he said “then i thank you from my heart”….. Years later that woman became critically ill that the doctors baffled as they couldn’t cure her,so specialists were called to study the rare illness.Dr Haward Kelly who was called for consultation immediately recognized the woman.He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life & after along struggle, the battle was won.Dr Kelly requested the bill be passed to him for approval,he looked at the huge bill & wrote something on it,then the bill was sent to the lady’s room.The lady feared opening it as she knew the bill could take a life time to pay off.When she eventually opened it,she noticed something written on the edge of the note “PAID FOR IN FULL FOR A GLASS OF MILK”. Tears filled her as she immediately remembered the rugged dirty skinny boy who knocked on her door . My dear friends,family &my loved ones always remember that every act of kindness you sow doesn’t bounce back,it reproduces itself,not necessarily before your eyes but it always does even to your next generation. “THE HEART YOU SAVE TODAY CAN BE YOURS TOMORROW THROUGH KINDNESS.WHAT WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED FOR WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH?”
