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 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. 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? He's got the most beautiful smile I've ever  seen!" 

Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his  home. 

His son was stunned by the look of peace on his face and he  asked, 

"Dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?" 

He  replied "I ate potato chips in the park with 

God." However, before his son responded, he 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. 

Send this to  people who have touched your life in a special 

way. Let them know how Important they are. 

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.
