Embrace all Equally

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to
where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potato chips
and a six-pack of root beer and started his journey.


When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman.
She was sitting in the park, just staring at some 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 that
the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her some chips.
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 a root beer. Again, she smiled at him.
The boy was delighted! They sat

There all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.




As twilight approached, 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!"
