GLASS  OF MILK

One  day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way 
through  school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. 

He  decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his 
nerve  when a lovely young woman opened the door. 

Instead of a meal he asked  for a drink of water. She thought he looked 
hungry so brought him a large glass  of milk. He drank it so slowly, and then 
asked, "How much do I owe you?"  

"You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to  
accept pay for a kindness." 

He said .. "Then I thank you from the bottom  of my heart." 

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger  physically, but 
his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to  give up and 
quit.. 

Many year's later that same young woman became  critically ill. The local 
doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big  city, where they called 
in specialists to study her rare disease. 

Dr.  Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name 
of the  town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. 

Immediately he rose  and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. 

Dressed in his  doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at 
once. 

He went  back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her 
life. From  that day he gave special attention to her case. 

After a long struggle,  the battle was won. 

Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the  final bill to him for 
approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the  edge and the bill was 
sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure  it would take the 
rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and  something caught 
her 
attention on the side of the bill. She read these words ..  "Paid in full 
with one glass of milk" 

(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.  

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You God,  
that Your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands." 

There's  a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters 
comes back to  you. The good deed you do today may benefit yo u or someone you 
love at the  least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you 
will have made  the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what 
life is all about?!
