to expect anything when
we are doing good.
but this is a great story that
i wan to share with u guys.
One day,
a poor boy who was selling goods
from door to door
to pay his way through school,
found he had only 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. I
nstead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.
She thought he looked hungry so 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 has taught us never to
accept payment 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.
Years 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(gynecology) 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 gown he went in to see her.
He recognized herat 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 as She read these words.....
"Paid in full with one glass of milk."
(Signed) Dr. Howard Atmond Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as
her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, GOD,
that Your love has spread abroad through
human hearts and hands."
