A Glass of Milk
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 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.
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.
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 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 abroad through
human hearts and hands."
