***before you read this...remember Noah's Ark.
since God wanted to change the world because of their wickedness, he sent a great flood so that all of them would perish. on the other hand, God commanded Noah to build an ark so that its passengers would be saved when the flood comes. today, God is also commanding us to make an ark, not so that you or i or our folks only would be saved but so that all of us would be saved not only from the flood, but the salvation in the days to come.
if we want to change the world, we have to start changing the environment of our hearts.
if we want to change the world, let's make one act of random kindness at a time.
if we want to change the world,
Remember Noah
Remember Evan
Remember God
"one Act of Random Kindness at a time."
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.
Instead 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 so 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 pay 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.
Many year's later that same 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 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 her
at 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 her 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 of the bill. She read
these words ...
"Paid in full with one glass of milk"
(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You,
God, that Your love has spread
broad through human hearts and hands."
There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the
water comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or
someone you love at the least expected time.� If you never see the deed
again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after
all, isn't that what life is all about?
