2 BEAUTIFUL STORIES TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE

There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This
romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl.

Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his
future doesn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until
one
day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back.
She
also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the both of them,
so
they went their own ways there and then...

Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he
worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make
something
out of himself.

Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had set
up his own company ....

You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy
was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain
walking to some destination.

Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him
long
to
realize they were his girl's parents.

With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the
couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to
know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company, car,
condo,
etc. He made it! What he saw next confused him, the couple was walking
towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and followed...and he
saw
his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her
tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right beside her...

Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened. They
explained,
she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with cancer. She had
believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want to be his
obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him. Just because someone
doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love
you with all they have. She had wanted her parents to put his paper
cranes
beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her
again...he can take some of those back with him...

Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind
may escape but what's in your heart will remain forever.

The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting
right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with her ever
again.........hope you understand.

Find time to re alize that there is one person who means so much to
you, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you
thought
meant nothing to you.

KINDNESS Pays !

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 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 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.

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. 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 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."

I can only say:

It is impossible to find God outside of ourselves; we are the greatest temples.
