| 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 man. He was sitting
in the park, just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and
opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when
he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he offered him some chips. He
gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.
His smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he
offered him a root beer. Again, he 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 man, and gave him a hug. He gave him his 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.

"dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied "I ate potato chips in the park with God." However, before

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.
Send this to people who have touched your life in a special way.
Let them know how important they are. I did!!!!
God still sits on the throne. You may be going through a tough time
right now but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can.
Keep the faith!
My instructions were to pick people that I wanted God to bless, and
I picked you.
Please pass this to people you want to be blessed. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue to pray for one another.
