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 man.He was sitting
in the park, just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to
him and opened his suitcase. Â He was about to take a drink from his
root beer 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 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 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.
Send this to people who have touched your life in a special
way. Let them know how Important they
are.
God still sits on the throne. You may be going
through a tough time right now but God Is getting ready to bless you
in a way that only He can. Keep the faith!
My instructions were to pick people that I wanted God to bless, and I
picked you.
