AND SO WE KNOW AND RELY ON THE LOVE HAS FOR
US. GOD IS LOVE. WHOEVER LIVES IN LOVE LIVES
IN GOD, AND GOD IN HIM.
( 1 JOHN 4:16 *NIV )

Dear Charles,
The following was sent to me by one of our Brother's in
Christ, a while ago. Please take time to read it for it may
very well change your day!
______________________________

A little boy 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 he 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. 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." However, before her son responded, she
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!

Therefore Send this to people who have touched your life in
a special way. Let them know how important they are. Then
why not have lunch with God yourself?
