“I am a mother of three children 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.
Basically, I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyways, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake for me, literally. Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s for a breakfast meal. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our daughter. 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 so sweetly’. His beautiful sky-blue eyes were full of God’s Light as he searched for 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 daughter. 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 given were we able to give. That 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 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 husband, daughter, instructor and every soul that shared the classroom the last night I spent as a college student.
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE. LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS – NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.
GOD WROTE: Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart. God gives every bird it’s food, but he does not throw it into its nest. Keep this going.
–Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.
–Those who keep on calling you when you come home late, do so not because they like doing so but because they care and are concerned when you will come home safely.
–Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.
–Those who apologize first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them.
–Those who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you anything, but because they see you as a true friend.
–Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do, but because you are in their heart.
One day, all of us will get separated from each other; we will miss our conversations of everything and nothing; laughing for no reason, the dreams that we had and all our wonderful days that we spent together. Days will pass by, months, years, until these contacts become rare.
One day our children will see our pictures in photo albums and ask us “Who are these people?” and we will smile with invisible tears remembering what unforgettable time we had with our family, friends and relatives. Because a heart is touched with a strong word and you will say: IT WAS THEM THAT I HAD THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE WITH.
President Xi Jing Peng of China has a beautiful story to share: Leave the choice to others:
As a small child, I was very selfish, always grabbing the best for myself. Slowly, everyone left me and I had no friends. I did not think it was my fault and I would criticize others.
But one day my father gave me 3 sentences to help me in life:
One day, my father cooked 2 bowls of noodles and put them on the table. One had an egg on top while the other bowl had none on top. Then he asked me to choose a bowl of noodles. Because eggs were hard to come by those days. I choose the bowl with the eggs. I was secretly congratulating myself on my wise choice and decided to wallop the eggs but to my surprise my father’s bowl of noodles had two eggs at the bottom of his bowl beneath the noodles. With much regret, I scolded myself for being too hasty in my decision.
My father smiled and taught me to remember that what your eyes see may not be true. He added that if you make a habit of taking advantage of people, you will end up losing.
The next day, my father again cooked 2 bowls of noodles; one bowl with an egg on top and the other bowl with no egg on top. Again, he asked to choose the bowl I wanted. This time I felt smarter so I chose the bowl without an egg on top. But to my surprise, there was not even a single egg at the bottom of the bowl. Again, my father smiled and said to me, my child, you must not always rely on experiences because sometimes, life can cheat you or play tricks on you. Never be too annoyed or sad, with situations, just treat every experience as learning a lesson that cannot be imbibed from any textbooks.
The third day my father again cooked 2 bowls of noodles, one bowl with an egg on top and the other with no egg on top. He asked me to choose the bowl I wanted. But this time, I told my father, “dad, you choose first, you are the head of the family and you contribute the most to the family.” My father was happy to choose for me. He chose the bowl with one egg on top, but as I ate my bowl of noodles, to my surprise, there were two eggs at the bottom of the bowl.
My father smiled at me with love in his eyes, he said, “My child, you must remember that when you leave the Choice to God or your Parents, they will always choose the BEST for you. When you think for the good of Others, good things will always naturally happen to you. Learn to be always kind and loving to one and all. You too will receive it tenfold. REAL HAPPINESS LIES IN MAKING OTHERS HAPPY.
