Before reading this text, in your opinion, how much is the price ofkindness?$1000? $100000? $1000000? $1000000000? or ...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.Year's 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 KellyTears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."As you can, be kind...

Hello Reem: Woooow ...Very lovely story ..I like it very much..I read it three times ..We should be kind to each other..Kindness has no price..It is very expensive quality not all people have.. Simplicity, kindness And forgiveness- These three are The most powerful branches Of the life-tree of Christianity.
Kindness is not blindness. Kindness is oneness-awareness. Blindness is failure: Failure within, failure without. Yesterday I discovered kindness in myself. Today I see how beautiful and soulful I am.
Yesterday I discovered kindness in humanity. Today I see how meaningful and fruitful humanity is.
The awakened mind May show kindness To those who not only do not deserve it But also misuse it-alas!
Have a nice day dear Reem...Thanks for sharing this intersting story which is so worthy with us.. Emi.
