Not because we are seen as old and retired because we are not apparently useful and fighting anymore! Nor because we could be rejected, isolated or ignored by the worldly systems!
God is with us, even when we sit, resignedly on the sidewalk benches of the park to feed the doves.
God will be with God, and come to share His time with us, until the end of our earthly times and into the everlasting peace and eternity that is waiting for us.
In the mean time, He will pass by the site where we sit, probably in despair and solitude, inviting us to lunch with Him.
LUNCHING WITH GOD! AN ESSENTIAL MESSAGE, SPECIALLY NECESSARY IN THESE TURBULENT TIMES!
Let´s meditate on the wording of the message:
Lunching with God! A Human Parable!!
A little child wanted to meet with God. He knew he would have to travel far to reach the place where HE lives. So, he placed in his backpack little chocolate cakes and fruit juices and went on, on his way.
After walking for some hours he saw an old couple, along the way. They were sitting alone, on a park bench, silently watching some doves picking up the crumbles of bread they were throwing to them.
The child sat beside them and opening his backpack started drinking a juice when he noticed that the old couple was watching him
So, he offered them two of his juices. They gratefully accepted and smiled. theirs were very beautiful smiles, and the child wanting to see their smiling, again, offered them, this time, two of his little cakes.
They smiled again. The child was mesmerized. And he stayed with them all the rest of the day, the three of them, cozily nibbling, sipping and smiling, without uttering a single word.
As darkness approached the child stood up to go back home. After a few steps he stopped, did turn back and ran to the old couple and hugged them. They hugged him back, and then gave him the greatest smiles in life.
When the child arrived home, her mother was surprised by the happy countenance of his face. She, then curiously asked him: My son, what did you do today that made you be so happy?
The child answered her: I had lunch with God today! And before her mother reacted, he added. And, do you know what? God is an old couple! And they have the most beautiful smile I have, ever, seen!
Meanwhile the old couple, radiant with happiness, too, went back to their son´s home. He was surprised by the peace shining on their face, and asked them : Mom, Dad, what did happen to you today that made you be so happy?
The old couple answered: We had little cakes and juices at the park, with God ! And before their son replied anything, they added: And, do you know what? He is younger than we thought!
Thanks, GOD! Because you are who you are!
Thanks, GOD! Because young or old, we can be your image in other people´s lives!
Frequently, we do not realize the strength of a hug, or of a pat on your back, or of a sincere smile, or of an encouraging word, or of an attentive ear, or of a pleasant word, or of the littlest gesture of care and concern.
But all those simple details have the magic power of changing yours and other people´s life, giving them the needed turning point to happiness.
People come into our lives for a reason. It could be for just a little time or forever. Let´s receive them all, the same!
