Thursday, July 27, 2006 Like to share a story of kindness with all of u.
Spreading a little love to all of u. We dont expect people to repay us when we help them. As long as they remember us. Here's the story> Enjoy...... One day, a poor boy w ho was selling goods from door to door to pay hisway through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he washungry.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 mealhe asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so broughthim 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 neverto accept payment 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 too. He had been ready to give up and quit. Years later that 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 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 herlife 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." Did this story touch the innnermost of your heart? Well, it did touch mine. Many a times when people helped me, all I said at that moment was: "Thank You." However, deep in my heart, i'm grateful that u were there to give me a helping hand when i'm in the deepest and darkest pit. A million thanks is not sufficient to show u my gratitude. But your name has been engraved in my heart. And i'll remember. YueN signing off..... Cloudy |
