Dont waste time being angry..
A man was rowing his boat upstream on a very misty morning. Suddenly, he saw
another boat coming downstream, not trying to avoid him. It was coming straight
at him. He shouted, "Be careful! Be careful!" but the boat came right into him,
and his boat was almost sunk. The man became very angry, and began to shout at
the other person, to give him a piece of his mind. But when he looked closely,
he saw that there was no one in the other boat. It turned out that the boat just
got loose and went downstream. All his anger vanished, and he laughed and he
laughed. -

All for a glass of milk...
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 so 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 the bottom of my 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.

Many year's later that same 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 her 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. 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 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 broadly through human hearts and hands."
There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters comes
back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at
the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have
made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all
about?!?!?! |
