HAVE YOU READ THESE GOOD, HEARTWARMING STORIES?
TREASURE THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW
Once there was a guy who was very much in love with his girl. He 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, and his future didn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. That was, until one day, when his girl told him that she was going to Paris and would never come back again. She also told him that she could not visualize any future for the both of them. They had to go their own ways.
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 his hard work and with the help of his friends, he 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, walking in the rain. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him long to realize that 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 luxurious sedan.
He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same anymore. He had his own company, car, condo, et cetera. He had made it! What he saw next confused him. The couple was walking towards a cemetery. He got out of his car and followed them . . . and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling as 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 such a thing had happened. They explained that she had not left for France at all. She had been ill with cancer. She had believed that he would make it someday, but she had not wanted to become a burden to him, therefore made the choice to leave him.
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want to them to, that doesn't mean that they do not love you with all that they have.
She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, as, if the day where fate would bring him back to her came, he could take some of the cranes back with him.
Once you have loved, you will always love. For what is in your mind may escape, but what is in your heart will remain forever.
The guy just wept. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside the person, knowing that one cannot have him/her, see him/her, or be with him/her ever again.
Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to you; for you may wake up one morning losing that person whom 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 that he had only one 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 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 kindness."
He said, "Then I thank you from my heart."
As Howard Kelly left that house, not only did he feel physically stronger, but his faith in God and Man increased too. 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 hard 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 her 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, wrote something on the edge; and then 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:
"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."
