There once was a little boy who
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 woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons.
The boy sat down next to her and
opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he
noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her a Twinkie. She
gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.
Her smile was so pretty that the boy
wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer. Once again she 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 he got up to leave but before he had gone more than a few
steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. She gave
him her 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? She’s got the most
beautiful smile I’ve ever seen!”
Meanwhile, the old woman, also
radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her son was stunned by the look of
peace on her face and he asked, “Mother, what did you do today that made you so
happy?” She replied, “I ate Twinkies in the park with God.” But, before her son
responded, she added, “You know, he’s much younger than I expected.”
Moral
of this story
God is everywhere. We just need to share our
happiness and make others smile to feel him.
