A NICE STORY TO SHARE…..
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from
door to door to pay, for his hungry stomach,
decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.
On the way through school, he found he had only
one thin dime left and he was very hungry.
However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young
woman opened the door.
Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.
The woman thought he looked hungry, so brought
him a large glass of milk.
He drank it slowly, and then asked, 'How much
do I owe you?' 'You don't owe me anything,'
she replied. 'Mother has taught us, never to
accept pay for a kindness.'
He said...'Then I thank you from my heart.'
Year's later that young woman became critically ill.
The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent
her to the big city, where they called in specialists
to study her rare disease.
Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.
When he heard the name of the town she came
from, a strange light filled his eyes.
Immediately he rose and went down the hall of
the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor's
gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at
once.
He went back to the consultation room determined
to do his best to save her life, from that day he gave
special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly
requested the business office to pass the final bill
to him for approval.
He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge
and the bill was sent to her room.
The woman feared opening it, for she was sure it
would take the rest of her life to pay for it all.
Finally she looked, and something caught her attention
on the side of the bill. She read these words...
'Paid in full with one glass of milk.' Signed, Dr.Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed:
Thank You, God, that Your love has spread abroad
through human hearts and hands.'
A SIMPLE INSPIRATION
‘To fix a broken life, use the tools of the heart.'
"Gratitude & patience is absolutely the best way to
bring more in one's life'.
