4:46 PMhere it goes..
This is a good
story and is true,
please read it all
the way through
until the end!
(After the story,
there are some
very interesting
facts!):
I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12,
3) and have recently
completed my
college degree.
The last class I
had to take was
Sociology.
The teacher was
absolutely inspiring
with the qualities that I
wish every human
being had been
graced with.
Her last project
of the term was
called, 'Smile.'
The class was
asked to go out
and smile at three
people and
document their reactions.
I am a very
friendly person
and always smile
at everyone and
say hello anyway.
So, I thought this
would be a piece
of cake, literally.
Soon after we
were assigned the
project, my husband,
youngest son, and I went
out to McDonald's
one crisp March
morning.
It was just our
way of sharing
special playtime
with our son.
We were standing
in line, waiting to
be served, when
all of a sudden
everyone around
us began to back
away, and then
even my husband
did.
I did not move an
inch... an
overwhelming
feeling of panic
welled up inside of
me as I turned to
see why they had
moved.
As I turned
around I smelled a
horrible 'dirty
body' smell, and
there standing
behind me were
two poor homeless
men.
As I looked down
at the short
gentleman, close to
me, he was
'smiling.'
His beautiful sky
blue eyes were
full of God's Light
as he searched for
acceptance.
He said, 'Good
day' as he counted
the few coins he
had been
clutching.
The second man
fumbled with his
hands as he stood
behind his friend.
I realized the
second man was
mentally
challenged and the
blue-eyed
gentleman was his
salvation.
I held my tears as
I stood there with
them.
The young lady at
the counter asked
him what they
wanted.
He said, 'Coffee is
all Miss' because
that was all they
could afford. (If
they wanted to sit
in the restaurant
and warm up, they
had to buy
something. He just
wanted to !
be warm).
Then I really felt
it - the compulsion
was so great I
almost reached
out and embraced
the little man with
the blue eyes.
That is when I
noticed all eyes in
the restaurant
were set on me,
judging my every
action.
I smiled and asked
the young lady
behind the counter
to give me two
more breakfast
meals on a
separate tray.
I then walked
around the corner
to the table that
the men had chosen
as a resting spot.
I put the tray on
the table and laid
my hand on the
blue-eyed
gentleman's cold
hand.
He looked up at
me, with tears in
his eyes, and said,
'Thank you.'
I leaned over,
began to pat his
hand and said, 'I
did not do this for
you. God is here
working through
me to give you
hope.'
I started to cry
as I walked away
to join my husband
and son. When I
sat down my
husband smiled at
me and said, 'That
is why God gave
you to me, Honey,
to give me hope.'
We held hands for
a moment and at
that time, we knew
that only because
of the Grace that
we had been given
were we able to
give.
We are not church
go ers,but we are
believers.
That day showed
me the pure Light
of God's sweet
love.
I returned to
college, on the last
evening of class,
with this story in
hand.
I turned in 'my
project' and the
instructor read it.
Then she looked up
at me and said,
'Can I share this?'
I slowly nodded as
she got the
attention of the
class.
She began to read
and that is when I
knew that we as
human beings and
being part of God
share this need to
heal people and to
be healed.
In my own way I
had touched the
people at
McDonald's, my
son, instructor,
and every soul
that shared the
classroom on the
last night I spent
as a college
student.
I graduated with
one of the biggest
lessons I would
ever learn:
UNCONDITIONAL
ACCEPTANCE.
Much love and
compassion is sent
to each and every
person who may
read this and learn
how to LOVE
PEOPLE AND
USE THINGS -
NOT LOVE
THINGS AND
USE PEOPLE.
There is an Angel
sent to watch over
you.
In order for her
to work, you must
pass this on to the
people you want
watched over.
