Potato Chips
A little boy wanted to meet God He knew it was a long trip to where God
lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-
pack of root beer and 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 some chips. 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 twilight approached, 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 potato
chips 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!
Have lunch with God.......bring chips.
(Though I do not believe in any forms of God or what, I believe in the
sentence in bold.
