Thumbs up A GLASS OF MILK~touching

A 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 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 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.

Year's later that 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 the 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 abroad through human hearts
and hands."

tt's touching.. the woman is lucky to have met a gd doc who remembers the help she'd given him..
its a reminder for us too, not to pick on whether ppl pay back ur kindness, but rather to do kind acts out of ur own heart.
