从前,有个小男孩,他很想见见上帝。他知道上帝住的地方离他家很远,所以就在自己的手提箱里装了好多蛋糕,还装了几听饮料,然后就出发了 他走过了三个街区,看见一位老太太坐在公园的排椅上看鸽子。小男孩在她旁边坐了下来,打开了手提箱。他打开一听饮料,刚要喝,发现老太太正看着他,好像很饿得样子,于是就给了她一块蛋糕。老太太非常感激得接过蛋糕,朝男孩微微一笑。 她的微笑是那么美丽,小男孩真想再看一眼。所以,他又送给她饮料喝。老太太又朝小男孩微微一笑。小男孩好高兴啊! 他们就这样,整整一下午都坐在公园里吃东西、微笑,一句话都没说。 天快黑了,小男孩这才觉得自己累了,想回家了。他站起来,走了没几步,又转过身来跑向那位老太太,给了她一个深深的拥抱,而老太太也给了他一个最灿烂的微笑。 小男孩一脸幸福地回到了家。她妈妈感到很是惊讶,问道:"什么事让你今天这么高兴啊?”他回答说:“今天中午我和上帝一起吃饭了。"还没等他妈妈反应过来,他又接着说:"你知道吗?她的微笑是世界上最美丽的。” 与此同时,老太太也容光焕发地回家了。她的儿子看到母亲脸上满足的表情,感到非常惊讶,问道:"妈妈,什么事让你今天这么高兴啊?” ‘‘我在公园里和上帝吃蛋糕了。"还没 等她儿子反应过来,她又接着说道:“你知道吗,他比我想得要年轻很多。" 很多时候,一次触摸,一个微笑,一个问候,一次倾听,一句真诚的赞美,一个细微的表达关怀的动作,都会带来意想不到的效果,甚至会改变我们的生活态度。 很多人因为某种原因走进了我们的生活,或者仅仅停留几个月,或者陪伴我们一生。 真诚地对待身边的每一个人吧!开心地拥抱每一个人吧! Cakes and Drinks There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with cupcakes, several cans of root beer and started on his journey. When he had gone about three blocks, he saw an elderly woman. She was sitting on a park bench watching the pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed the lady looked hungry so he offered her a cupcake. She gratefully accepted and smiled at him. Her smile was so wonderful that he wanted to see it again,so he offered a root beer as well. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was delighted : They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling without saying a word. As it began to grow dark, the boy realized how tired he was and wanted to go home. He got up to leave but before he had gone no more than a few steps, he turned around and ran back to the old woman, giving her a big hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever. When the boy arrived home, his Mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked, “What has made you so happy today?” He replied, "I had lunch with God.” Before his mother could respond he added,”You know what? She’s got the most beautiful smile in the whole world!" Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her sonwas stunned by the look of peace on her face. He asked, "Mother, what has made you so happy today?" She replied, "I ate cupcakes in the park with God.” And before her son could reply, she added, “You know, he is much younger than I expected." Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a greeting, 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. Take no one for granted and embrace all equally with joy! |
