This is a good story and is true, please read it
all the way through until the end! (After the
story, there are some very interesting facts!):

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have
recently completed my college degree.
The last class I had to take was Sociology.

The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the
qualities that I wish every human being had been
graced with.

Her last project of the term was called, "Smile."

The class was asked to go out and smile at three
people and document their reactions.

I am a very friendly person and always smile at
everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this
would be a piece of cake,
literally.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my
husband, youngest son, and I went out to
McDonald's one crisp March morning.

It was just our way of sharing special playtime
with our son.

We were standing in line, waiting to be served,
when all of a sudden everyone around us began to
back away, and then
even my husband did.

I did not move an inch, an overwhelming feeling
of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to
see why they had moved.

As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty
body" smell, and there standing behind me were
two poor homeless men.

As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to
me, he was "smiling".

His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's
Light as he searched for acceptance.

He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins
he had been clutching.

The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood
behind his friend. I realized the second man was
mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman
was his salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there with them.

The young lady at the counter asked him what they
wanted.

He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was
all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in
the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy
something. He just wanted to be warm).

Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so
great I almost reached out and embraced the
little man with the blue eyes.

That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant
were set on me, judging my every action.

I smiled and asked the young lady behind the
counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a
separate tray.

I then walked around the corner to the table that
the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the
tray on the table and laid my hand on the
blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.

He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and
said, "Thank you."

I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I
did not do this for you. God is here working
through me to give you hope."

I started to cry as I walked away to join my
husband and son. When I sat down my husband
smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you
to me, Honey, to give me hope."

We held hands for a moment and at that time, we
knew that only because of the Grace that we had
been given were we able to give.

We are not church goers, but we are believers.

That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet
love.

I returned to college, on the last evening of
class, with this story in hand.

I turned in "my project" and the instructor read
it.

Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share
this?"

I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the
class.

She began to read and that is when I knew that we
as human beings and being part of God share this
need to heal people and to be healed.

In my own way I had touched the people at
McDonald's, my son, instructor, and every soul
that shared the classroom on
the last night I spent as a college student.

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I
would ever learn:
UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

Much love and compassion is sent to each and
every person who may read this and learn how to
LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND
USE
PEOPLE.

There is an Angel sent to watch over you.

In order for her to work, you must pass this on
to the people you want watched over.
