My grandmother is passing soon with cancer.
I visited her the other day and she was telling me about how she really wanted soup, but not hospital soup because she said it tasted like 'shit' . She went on
about how she really would like some clam chowder from Panera. Unfortunately Panera only sells clam chowder on Friday. I called the manager Sue and told her about the situation. I wasn't looking for anything special, just a bowl
of clam chowder. Without hesitation she said she would absolutely make some clam chowder for my granny.
When I went to pick it up they gave me a box of
cookies as well. It's not that big of a deal to most
people, but to my grandma it meant a lot.
I really want to thank Sue and the rest
of the staff from Panera just for
making my grandmother
happy.
Thank you so much!
A poor boy was selling goods from one
door to another to pay for his studies. One day he found that he had only one dime left, and he was hungry. While approaching the next house, he decided to ask for a meal.
But when a young woman opened the door, he only dared to ask for a glass of water. She looked at him and understood that the boy was probably hungry. So she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it and then asked how much he owed her. The woman replied: „You don‘t owe me anything. Mother taught us never to accept pay for a kindness“. „Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart“, he said and felt that now he was stronger not only physically, but his faith in God had grown as well. The boy‘s name was Howard Kelly.
Many years passed. One day that woman became seriously ill. Local doctors could not help her. Therefore they sent her to a big city, where her rare disease would be studied by specialists. Dr Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he entered her room in the hospital, he immediately recognized the woman, that showed kindness to him, when he was poor. The doctor was determined to do his best to help her recover from her disease.
The struggle was long, but together they managed to overcome her illness. After some time the woman received a bill for her treatment. She was worried that the amount to pay would be so significant, that it would take the rest of her life to pay for it. Finally, when the woman looked at the bill, she noticed theb words that were written on the side of the bill. The words were: „Paid in full with a glass of milk“.
