A small gesture
A  Glass of Milk
One  day , a  poor  boy was selling clothing door to door, to  pay  for his education realized that he only had ten cents left in his pockets. He was hungry and so decided to ask for some food at the next house that he came to.
In the meantime he lost his hunger when a beautiful young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked her for a glass of water.
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
When Howard Kelly  left the house, as well as feeling stronger physically, he sensed a return of his faith in the lord which he had nearly abandoned.
Years later, this same young woman fell gravely ill. The local doctors were mystified, so they sent her to the big city where they knew that the specialists would be able to diagnose this rare sickness.
Doctor Howard Kelly was called as a consultant. When he heard the name of the city where she lived, a memory burned brightly in his eyes.
He got up and went to her room. As he entered her room, he immediately recognized her. He returned to the consultation room, determined to do his best to save her life.
From that day on,he paid special attention to this case. After a long battle, the war was finally won
Doctor Kelly left instructions that the bill should be sent to him for  authorization. He  looked it over, wrote something in the margin, and sent it to her room.
She thought that when she opened the envelope  she would find an invoice that would take the rest of her life to pay in full. But when she finally opened it.
Something caught her attention in the margin of the invoice.
She read these words: Paid in full with a glass of milk : Doctor Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy filled her eyes and her heart. She prayed :« Thank you lord, for your love has crossed the hands and hearts of man ».
[object Object],[object Object],There is a saying that goes like this: Bread thrown over the water returns to you.
An act of goodness that you do today can come back to  you or someone that you love, when you are not expecting it. If you do not see this act of goodness returned, at least you will have made a difference in this world. And in the end, isn’t that what life is all about?
You now have two choices. You can pass on this message or make believe that you were never touched by it.
The hardest lesson in life, is to know which bridges to cross, and which to burn...
Many people pass through our lives but only real friends  leave their imprint in our hearts..  Have a good day
