It is good to be good!

I was reading through a friend's notes on facebook and came across this story which I believe worths sharing... Do read along.

One day, a poor boy who was begging from door to door to feed his hungry stomach decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. 

However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. The woman thought he looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "how much do I owe you?". "you don't owe me anything", she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for kindness".

"he said... Then I thank you from my heart". Years later, that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors are baffled because they couldn't cure her. They finally sent her to the big city, where they call specialists to study her rare illness. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town where she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. He recognised her at once. he went back 2 d consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day, he gave special attention to that case. After long struggle, the battle was won!!! Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the bill. It was sent to her room. The woman feared opening it, for she was sure it will take the rest of her life to pay for it all. 

Finally she looked, and noticed something was written at the edge of the note. "paid for in full for a glass of milk". Tears filled her eyes as she immediately remembered...

Every form of kindness you sow doesn't bounce, it reproduces itself. Not necessarily before your eyes, but it always does. . It is good to be good!
