This is a story I read few years ago in a very popular series book called "The Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul" I'm so obsessed with this book that I call it my anti-depressant. This particular story is one of my favorite, it teach us that it has always been and always will be a matter of perspective, how we see things and not how the things ordinarily are. Enjoy. :)
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 food and drinks and started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink when he saw the old woman looked hungry, so he offered her some. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her some food. Once again he smiled at him . The boy was delighted .!
They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
As it grew dark, 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 woman and gave her a hug. She gave him her 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? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home.
Her son asked, "Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
She replied, "I ate with God today in the park" But before her son responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than i expected"
