This little boy, had the message and passed it on.

A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God
lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six pack of root beer
and he started his journey. When he had gone about three blocks, he met an
  old woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons.
 
  The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase.  He was about to
  take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked
  hungry, so he offered her a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him.
 
  Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he
  offered her a root beer. Again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted!
 
  They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.

  As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave,
  but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back
  to  the old woman, and gave her a hug. She gave  him her biggest smile ever.

  When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his
  mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, "What did you
  do today that made you so happy?"
 
  He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond,
  he added,  "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home. Her
  son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked, "Mother,
  what did  you do today that made you so happy?"

  She replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." However, before her
  son responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a
  listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of
  which have the potential to turn a life around.  People come into our
  lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.   Embrace all equally!

  Send this to people who have touched your life in a special way.  Let them
  know how important they are. Have lunch with God.
 
  Wishing you a wonderful day!!!!!   "There are no rules....follow your   heart."
