One day a poor boy was selling clothing from door to door to pay for his education. He realised that he had only ten cents left in his pocket. He was hungry and so decided to ask for some food at the next house that he came to.
A beautiful young woman opened the door. But instead of a meal, the boy asked for a glass of water. The woman could read from the boy's face that he was hungry, so she brought him a glass of milk. He drank it very slowly and asked, "How much do I owe you?"
You do not owe me anything at all", she replied, "My mother taught us never to accept anything for doing someone an act of kindness".
The boy replied, "Then I thank you from the bottom of heart".
When he left the house feeling stronger physically, he sensed a return of his faith in the Lord whom he had nearly abandoned.
Years later this same young woman fell ill. The local doctors were puzzled, so they sent her to the big city where they knew that the specialists would be able to diagnose this rare sickness. Doctor Howard Kelly was called in as a consultant. When he heard the
name of the city where she lived, a memory burned brightly in his eyes.
He got up and went to her room. As he entered the room, he immediately
recognised her. He returned to the consultation room, determined to do his best to save her life.
From that day on, he paid special attention to this case. After a long battle the war was
finally won. Doctor Kelly left instructions that the bill should be sent to him for
authorisation. He looked it over, wrote something in the margin and sent it to her room
The lady thought that when she would open the envelope, she would find an invoice
that would take rest of her life to pay in full. But when she finally opened it, something
caught her attention in the margin of the invoice. She read these words:
"Paid in full with a glass of milk" - Doctor Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy filled her eyes and her heart. She was amazed to see how a little favour
done yesterday was transformed into a great blessing and granted her a new life today
