A GLASS OF MILK

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way

through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He

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.

She thought he looked hungry so 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 a kindness."

He said "Then I thank you from my heart." As

Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his

faith in god and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were

baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists

to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation.

When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his

eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.

 

Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once.

He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her

life. From that day, he gave special attention to the case.

After a 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

edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure

it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and

something caught her attention on the side of the bill.

She read these words. "Paid in full with one glass of milk" (signed)

Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank you, God, that

your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."

Dear Sreedeviji,Good to hear from you after a long gap. Hope your trip was good. The story reminds me of Kuchelavruttham itself. I firmly believe that Krishna came in the from of that doctor and saved Him. We are not blessed enough to see the doctor in Krishna's form, but he was blessed to think that Krishna sent the Doctor help him. We can accept that because even Poonthaanam saw Mangattacchan as only Mangattachan that night in the forest. Later he knew that it was Guruvayurappan who came in the form of Mangattachan, saved him from the thieves and accepted the golden ring he gave as his token of appreciation.

Very touching real life story to reinforce our faith!Regards and prayerssavitriOn Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 2:59 PM, NVP Menon <nvpmenon wrote:

About ten hears ago, One day the father became very ill and suffered a heart attack. He di not have toomuch money. So he went to the local hospital.While waiting in the emergency room.one doctor came to see him and recognised him as his old classmate!!.The doctor told him that he should go to the best

hospital for the right kknd of treatment and immediately took him to the best hospital in the area, where he ,had triple bypass surgery .The patient was ofcourse worried about how he will be able ot pay for such expensive treatment.His freind, the doctor paid the whole expenses,saying that I will do anything to help my friend and classmate!!.I am happy to say that i saw the father of gopal when we went to Hyderbad.He looks quite .healthy..
