_-_Glass of Milk _-_

[ROPY]

>> 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 t o 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
>>you 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
