A glass of milk


GRATITUDE AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IS ONE OF THE MOST MOST IMPARTANT VALUES'.ONE NEED TO SPREAD AND INCULCATE THIS VALUS UNTO ONE'S LIFE.
THIS IS MY DESIRE.


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,
How much do I owe you?


"You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us
never toaccept pay for a kindness.
"He said..... "Then I thank you from 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 broad 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?


Now you have two choices. You can send this page on and spread a positive message. Or ignore it and pretend it never touched your heart.


The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn...
