Extracted from an e-mail I received:-
*
Breakfast at McDonald's
*
This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):
*
I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.
*
The last class I had to take was Sociology..
*
The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.
*
Her last project of the term was called, 'Smile.'
*
The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.
*
I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.
*
Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.
*
We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did..
*
I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up insideof me as I turned to see why they had moved.
*
As I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.
*
As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling'. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.
*
He said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.
*
The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend.
*
I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.
*
I held my tears as I stood there with them. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.
*
He said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up , they had to buy something He just wanted to be warm).
*
Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.
*
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.
*
I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.
*
I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the bl ue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.
*
He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'
*
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here wor king through me to give you hope'
*
I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son.
*
When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.' We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.
*
We are not church goers, but we are believers.
*
That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.
*
I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.
*
I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?' I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.
*
She began to read and tha t i s when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.
*
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.
*
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE. Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.
*
There is an Angel sent to watch over you. In order for her to work, you must pass this on to the people you want watched over.
