Bring Potato
Chips
Take 60 seconds to read
this story. It will be well worth your time.
A little boy wanted to
meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he
packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips and a six-pack
of root beer and started his journey.
When he had gone about
three blocks, he met an old man. He was sitting in the park,
just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to him and
opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his
root beer when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so
he offered him some chips. He gratefully accepted it and
smiled at him.
His
smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he
offered him a root beer. Again, he smiled at him. The boy was
delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling,
but they never said a word.
As twilight approached,
the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave; but
before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around,
ran back to the old man, and gave him a hug. He gave him his
biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the
door to his own house a short time later, his
mother was
surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What
did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied, "I
had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he
added, "You know what? He's got the most beautiful smile I've
ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old man,
also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was
stunned by the look of peace on his face and he asked, "dad,
what did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied "I ate potato
chips in the park with God." However, before his son
responded, he added, "You know, he's much younger than I
expected."
Too
often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind
word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest
act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life
around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or
a lifetime! Embrace all equally!
Have lunch with
God.......bring chips.
Send this to people who
have touched your life in a special way. Let them
know how
important they are. I did!!!!
God still sits on the
throne. You may be going through a tough time right now but
God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can.
Keep the faith!
My
instructions were to pick four people that I wanted God to
bless, and I picked you.
Please pass this to at
least four people you want to be blessed. This prayer is
powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive.
There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue to pray
for one another.
Here is
the prayer:
Father,
I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and e-mail buddies
reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of Your
love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their
spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them
Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a
renewed confidence through Your grace. Bless their homes,
families, finances, their goings and their comings. In Jesus'
precious name, Amen.
I know I picked more
than four, so can you!
