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 look 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 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." 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. Remember,
we don't know what God will look like. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!
So open ur eyes n hearts....donot know when and where u'll meet the Divine......
Gud day!

Dear All,
This story is really sweet and putting light as how we can meet with our own divine part, GOD is no where but is present in each of us, his presence is so deep inside and he is so shy to come out by his own will ,he is in fear to touch the dirt of the world ...it is difficult to find any space where there is no existance of dirt... so does it mean presence of dirt is as strong.. as presence of GOD? ... its true that dirt is so bold & its presence is in outer part only thus looks vibrating --strong, our divine part ( GOD ) is more stronger but its presence is too deep inside .
by this story we can take lesson to excavate our GOD and become divine with living practical life ...means even having rational approach by finding our own GOD we can START A MOVEMENT OF REMOVAL OF THIS DIRT....
YOURS TRULY

Hi all,
Remarkable!! Really very short but meaningful. Sometime we don't understand the meaning of life and people who are close to us. If we see everybody with open heart then come to know about reality of life.
Thanks Dan for such a nice story and sharing it with us.
