Donuts, Root Beer and God
There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God
He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with donuts and a six-pack of root beer, and he started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old man. He was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons.
The boy sat down next to him and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old man looked hungry so he offered him a donut.
He gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. His smile was so incredible that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a root beer. Once again, he 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 man, and gave him a hug.
The old man gave him his 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? He's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy on his face was asked by his son, "Father, what did you do today that made you so happy?" He replied, "I ate donuts in the park with God."
But before his son could respond, he added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."
Never underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or even the smallest act of caring! All have the potential to turn a life around.

Terjemahan
:
Suatu kali ada seorang anak kecil yang ingin bertemu Tuhan
Dia tahu itu adalah perjalanan panjang diperlukan ke rumah Tuhan, sehingga ia memenuhi tasnya dengan donat dan enam kaleng-root beer, dan ia memulai perjalanannya.
Ketika ia pergi sekitar tiga blok, dia bertemu dengan seorang pria tua. Dia duduk di taman hanya menatap beberapa merpati.
Anak itu duduk di sampingnya dan membuka tas. Ia hendak mengambil minuman root beer ketika ia melihat bahwa orang tua tampak lapar sehingga dia menawarkan dirinya donat.
Dia menerimanya dengan senang hati
dan tersenyum padanya. Senyumnya begitu luar biasa bahwa anak itu ingin
melihatnya lagi, jadi ia menawarkan dia root beer. Sekali lagi, ia tersenyum
padanya.
Anak itu senang! Mereka duduk di sana sepanjang sore makan dan tersenyum, tetapi mereka tidak pernah mengatakan sepatah kata pun.
Saat hari mulai gelap, anak itu menyadari betapa lelah dia dan ia bangkit untuk pergi, tapi sebelum dia pergi lebih dari beberapa langkah, dia berbalik, berlari kembali ke orang tua itu, dan memberinya pelukan.
Orang tua memberinya senyumnya terbesar yang pernah
Ketika anak itu membuka pintu ke rumahnya sendiri beberapa waktu kemudian, ibunya terkejut dengan melihat sukacita di wajahnya. Dia bertanya, "Apa yang kamu lakukan hari ini sehingga membuat kamu begitu senang?"
Dia menjawab, "Saya makan siang bersama Tuhan." Tapi sebelum ibunya bisa merespon, ia menambahkan, "Kau tahu apa? Dia punya senyum yang paling indah yang pernah saya lihat!"
Sementara itu, orang tua, juga berseri-seri dengan sukacita di wajahnya diminta oleh anaknya, "Bapa, apa yang kamu lakukan hari ini sehingga membuat kamu begitu senang?" Dia menjawab, "Saya makan donat di taman bersama Tuhan."
Tapi sebelum anaknya bisa merespon, ia menambahkan, "Kau tahu, dia jauh lebih muda dari yang saya harapkan."
Jangan pernah meremehkan kekuatan sentuhan, senyuman, kata-kata manis, telinga yang mendengar, pujian yang jujur??, atau bahkan tindakan terkecil peduli! Semua memiliki potensi untuk mengubah kehidupan sekitar.
