I've always been a fan of Disney movies. From what I remember, I grew up watching every one of them. I have my favorites, but I really liked one of the recent ones that came out: Up. Anyway, my friend found the coolest picture the other day and put it on his Facebook wall. I would like to share it.
I've always loved poems and quotes, especially ones that have deeper meanings. Here's one that meant a lot to me because of how one act of kindness can change someones life forever.
I don't know who wrote it, but it's called "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 only had 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 she 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 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 down 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 through human hearts and
hands."
