A Glass of Milk

One day a poor boy went begging from door to door to feed his hungry stomach. He knocked on a door and a lovely lady opened, instead of asking for food he asked for a glass of water. The woman thought he looked hungry so she brought him a glass of milk, after drinking he said, "thank you, I owe you" She replied, "you owe nothing, no payment needed for act of kindness". He then said, "I thank you from my heart".

Years later that woman became critically ill that the doctors baffled as they couldn't cure her, so specialists were called to study the rare illness. Haward Kelly who was called for consultation immediately recognised the wman, He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life and after a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the bill be passes to him for approval. He looked at the huge bill and wrote something on it. Then the bill was sent to the lady's room. The lady feared opening it, as she knew the bill could take a lifetime to pay off. When she eventually opened it, she noticed something written on the edge of the note "PAID FOR IN FULL FOR A GLASS OF MILK".

Tears fill her as she immediately remembered the rugged dirty skinny boy who knocked on her door. My dear friends, always remember that every act of kindness you sow doesn't bounce back; it reproduces itself, not necessarily before your eyes always. However, it does even to your next generation. Jesus says, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me" (Matt 25:40)
