My Actions[i][/i]

This might help us if we can take time to read-

I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier hand this little boy
his money back
saying
"I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll." Then
the little boy
turned to
the old woman ''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?''

The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to
buy this doll,
my dear.''
Then she asked him to stay there for 5 minutes while she went to look
around. She
left quickly.

The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give
this doll to.

"It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for this
Christmas. She
was so
sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her."

I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her after
all, and not to
worry.

But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her
where she is now.
I have
to give the doll to my Mommy so that she can give it to my sister when
she goes
there."

His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My sister has gone to be with
God. Daddy
says that
Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could
take the doll
with her
to give it to my sister.''

My heart nearly stopped.

The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told daddy to tell Mommy
not to go yet.
I need her
to wait until I come back from the mall."

Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He
then told
me "I want Mommy
to take my picture with her so she won't forget me." "I love my Mommy
and I wish she
didn't have
to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little
sister." Then
he looked
again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.

I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. "What if we
checked again, just
in case you
do have enough money?''

"OK" he said "I hope that I have enough."

I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to
count it. There
was enough
for the doll and even some spare money. The little boy said: "Thank
you God for
giving me enough
money!"

Then he looked at me and added "I asked yesterday before I slept for
God to make
sure I have
enough money to buy this doll so that Mommy can give it to my sister.
He heard
me!'' "I also
wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my Mommy, but I
didn't dare to
ask God for
too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.''
"My Mommy loves
white roses."

A few minutes later, the old lady came again and I left with my
basket. I finished
my shopping
in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the
little boy out
of my mind.

Then I remembered a local newspaper article 2 days ago, which
mentioned of a drunk
man in a
truck, who hit a car, where there was one young lady and a little
girl. The little
girl died
right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family
had to decide
whether to
pull the plug on the life-assisting machine, because the young lady
would not be
able to
recover from the coma.

Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after this encounter
with the little
boy, I
read in the newspaper that the young lady had passed away.

I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went
to the funeral
home where
the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make
last wishes
before burial.
She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her
hand with the
photo of
the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.

I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed
forever. The love that this little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day,
hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

Remember, your action could change ones life for better or for worse

A drunk driver's action destroyed a happy family, sent the leader of tommorow to her early grave,

Watch ur action today as it may make or mar someone's testimony


Learn not to tell the Lord how big the problem is,
tell the problem how Great the Lord is!
