There once was a little boy who 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 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.
was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies 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 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. Once 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.” But, before her son responded, she added, “You
know, he’s much younger than I expected.”

Moral: God is
everywhere. We just need to share our happiness and make others smile to
feel him. Love people and endearvour to meet their needs. God is Omnipotent,
Ominscient and Omnipresent. He can reach you right where you are. If you say
you love God and hate your neighbor, you are deceiving yourself. So love God
and love your neighbor. That is the greatest commandment.
