A Good Deed

23:08 Rich Personality

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. Being embarrased however, Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water to the lady who opened the door.
She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
She replied."You don't owe me anything. Mother has taught me that a good deed never goes waste. it always comes back to you".
He said....."Then I thank you from my heart." As the young boy left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also.

Year's 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. 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 went back to the consultation room determined to do his best for his patient since she was suffering from a rare disease. From that day he worked very hard researching, doing different investigations,trying everything he could to save her life.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval so that he could write his charges.
The bill was then sent to the lady. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. She may have to sell her house to pay the bill.She may have to stay on the streets for the rest of her life.
Finally she looked, the bill had an enormous amount written in it and she knew that all was lost.

But something caught her attention on the side of the bill.
It read.....
" Your Bill paid in full with a glass of milk. A good deed never goes waste. it always comes back to you."
(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."
