STORY - ~ Kindness Pays! (Kindness and Compassion)

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
hisnerve when a lovely youngwoman opened the door. Instead of a meal
he asked for a drink of water.
Young woman thought he looked hungry so she 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
myheart."
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger
physically, but his faith in God and mankind 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 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 the
case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Howard Kelly requested
the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He
looked at it, and 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 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."
Moral: When a flower blooms, its colour and scent first touch the
gardennear it, and then spread. In the same way, a Muslim's acts of
human kindness should first touch those nearest to him, his family and
his neighbors./- ~ - ~ -
