LUNCH WITH GOD
A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God
lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six pack of Root
beer
and he 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 a Twinkie. 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 it grew
dark, 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 Twinkies in the park with God."
However, before her son responded, she added, "You know, he's much
younger
than I expected."
