Kindness Pays!!

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.

.

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk.

.

He drank it slowly, and then asked, "Howmuch do I owe you?""You don't owe me anything," she replied "Mother has taught us neverto accept payment for a kindness." He said... "Then I thank you frommy heart."

.

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

.

Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctorswere baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they calledin specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was calledin for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she camefrom, 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 we nt 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 lookedat it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.She feared to open 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 as 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 Love story.. Touching..

There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. Thisromantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl.

..

Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, hisfuture didn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never comeback.

..

She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for theboth of them, so they went their own ways there and then...

.

Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, heworked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to makesomething out of himself.Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy hadset up his own company ..You never fail until you stop trying.

.

One rainy day, while this guywas driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rainwalk ing to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were stilldrenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were his girl's parents.

.

With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside thecouple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted themto know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company, car,condo, etc. He made it!

.

What he saw next confused him, the couple waswalking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car andfollowed...and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly asever at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper cranes rightbeside her...Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened.

.

They explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill withcancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did notwant to be his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him.

.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you wa nt them to,doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. She had wantedher parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the daycomes when fate brings him to her again...he can take some of thoseback with him...

.

Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind mayescape but what's in your heart will remain forever.The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sittingright beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with herever again.........hope you understand.

.

Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to you, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you thought meant nothing to you.

.

Best Friends

.

A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During somepoint of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

.

.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

.

"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE."

.

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the neardrowning, he wrote on a stone:

.

"TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE."

.

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, "After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone,why?" The other friend replied "When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someonedoes something good for us, we must engraveit in stone where no wind can ever erase it.

.

"LEARN TO WRITE YOUR HURTS IN THE SAND AND TO CARVE YOUR BENEFITS IN STONE."

.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.

Do not value the THINGS you have in your life.. But! value WHO you have in your life!

The Brick!!!

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down








when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!
He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver

then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against








a parked car shouting, 'What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money Why did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic. 'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,' He pleaded. 'I threw the brick because no one else would stop...' With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. 'It's my brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.'








Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.'








Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God bless you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.








It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: 'Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!' God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not.








Thought for the Day:








If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.








If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.








He sends you flowers every spring.








He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!








Send this to every 'beautiful person' you wish to bless.








God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.








Read this line very slowly and let it sink in...








"If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.."
