A Return
is Requested....You'll see why.
Breakfast
at McDonald's
This
is a good story and is true, please read it all
the way through until the end! (After the St or
y, there are some very interesting facts!):
I
am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have
recently completed my college degree.
The
last class I had to take was Sociology.
The
teacher was absolutely inspiring with the
qualities that I wish every human being had been
graced with.
Her
last project of the term was called, 'Smile.'
The
class was asked to go out and smile at three
people and document their reactions.
I
am a very friendly person and always smile at
everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this
would be a piece of cake,
Literally.
Soon
after we were assigned the project, my husband,
youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one
crisp March morning.
It
was just our way of sharing special playtime with
our son.
We
were standing in line, waiting to be served, when
all of a sudden everyone around us began to back
away, and then
Even
my husband did.
I
did not move an inch... An overwhelming feeling
of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to
see why they had moved.
As
I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body'
smell, and there standing behind me were two poor
homeless men.
As
I looked down at the short gentleman, close to
me, he was 'smiling'
His
beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light
as he searched f or acceptance....
He
said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he
had been clutching..
The
second man fumbled with his hands as he stood
behind his friend. I realized the second man was
mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman
was his salvation.
I
held my tears as I stood there with them.
The
young lady at the counter asked him what they
wanted.
He
said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all
they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the
restaurant and warm up, they had to buy
something. He just wanted to be warm).
Then
I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I
almost reached out and embraced the little man
with the blue eyes..
That
is when I noticed all eyes in the
Restaurant were set on me, judging
My
every action.
I
smiled and asked the young lady behind the
counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a
separate tray.
I
then walked around the corner to the table that
the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the
tray on the table and laid my hand on the
blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.
He
looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and
said, 'Thank you.'
I
leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I
did not do this for you.. God is here working
through me to give you hope.'
I
started to cry as I walked away to join my
husband and son.... When I sat down my husband
smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you
to me, Honey, to give me hope..'
We
held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew
that only because of the Grace that we had been
given were we able to give.
We
are not church goers, but we are believers.
That
day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.
I
returned to college, on the last evening of
class, with this story in hand.
I
turned in 'my project' and the instructor read
it.
Then
she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?'
I
slowly nodded as she got the attention of the
class.
She
began to read and that is when I knew that we as
human beings and being part of God share this
need to heal people and to be healed.
In
my own way I had touched the people at
McDonald's, my son, the instructor, and every
soul that shared the classroom on the last night
I spent as a college student.
I
graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would
ever learn:
UNCONDITIONAL
ACCEPTANCE.
Much
love and compassion is sent to each and every
person who may read this and learn how to
LOVE
PEOPLE AND USE THINGS -
NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.
There
is an Angel sent to watch over you.
In
order for her to work, you must pass this on to
the people you want watched over.

this is a wonderful message...but what was intended for good is tainted with the 'send to 3 or "insert your own number" and make a wish....Almighty God answers prayers ...not wishes...He isn't a lottery...whenever I receive these I delete all that nonsense and send only the message of love...but do ask that all previous email addresses be removed because spammers know the average person forward and leaves the email addresses on it and they also know that sooer or later it will come back to them with all the addresses to harvest!
So please...share the wonderful messages in these forwards but clean them up an remove the send to so many friends....and "click your heels so many times and repeat, theres no place like home"
And reach out to people around and do good ...expecting nothing in return....in quiet humility without fanfare...all year 'round...not just at Christmas time... Merry Christmas to all!!
