09/17/16 Weekend Grif.Net – Meeting God

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 a sack with =
Twinkies and root beer, and he 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 bag. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he =
noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her a =
Twinkie.

 

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.  Once again, she 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 =
son’s house where she had a room. Her son was stunned by the look =
of peace on her face and he asked, "Mother, what did you do today =
that made you so happy?" She replied, "I ate Twinkies in the =
park with God."

 

But =
before her son responded, she added, "You know, he’s much younger =
than I expected."
