Subject: You Reap What You Sow
  
Hello… 
Very inspirational message I thought you’d enjoy!  Have a blessed day!
Such a
beautiful story!!!

 Good morning said a woman as she walked up to the man
sitting on ground.
The
man slowly looked up.

This was a woman clearly accustomed to the finer things of life. Her coat
was new. She looked like she had never missed a meal in her life.

His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many
others had done before.. “Leave me alone,” he growled….

To his amazement, the woman continued standing.

She was smiling — her even white teeth displayed in dazzling rows.
“Are you hungry?” she asked.

“No,” he answered sarcastically. “I’ve just come from
dining with the president. Now go away.”

The woman’s smile became even broader. Suddenly the man felt a gentle
hand under his arm.

“What are you doing, lady?” the man asked angrily. “I said
to leave me alone.

Just then a policeman came up. “Is there any problem, ma’am?”
he asked.

“No problem here, officer,” the woman answered. “I’m just
trying to get this man to his feet. Will you help me?”

The officer scratched his head. “That’s old Jack. He’s been a
fixture around here for a couple of years. What do you want with
him?”

“See that cafeteria over there?” she asked. “I’m going to
get him something to eat and get him out of the cold for awhile.”

“Are you crazy, lady?” the homeless man resisted. “I don’t
want to go in there!” Then he felt strong hands grab his other arm
and lift him up. “Let me go, officer. I didn’t do anything.”


” This is a good deal for you, Jack”
the officer answered. “Don’t blow it.”

Finally, and with some difficulty, the woman and the police officer got Jack
into the cafeteria and sat him at a table in a remote corner. It was the
middle of the morning, so most of the breakfast crowd had already left and
the lunch bunch had not yet arrived.

The manager strode across the cafeteria and stood by his table. “What’s
going on here, officer?” he asked. “What is all this, is this man
in trouble?”

“This lady brought this man in here to be fed,” the policeman
answered.

“Not in here!” the manager replied angrily. “Having a person
like that here is bad for business..”

Old Jack smiled a toothless grin. “See, lady. I told you so. Now if
you’ll let me go. I didn’t want to come here in the first place.”

The woman turned to the cafeteria manager and smiled. “Sir, are you
familiar with Eddy and Associates, the banking firm down the street?”

“Of course I am,” the manager answered impatiently. “They hold
their weekly meetings in one of my banquet rooms.”

“And do you make a godly amount of money providing food at these weekly
meetings?”

“What business is that of yours?”

I, sir, am Penelope Eddy, president and CEO of the company.”

“Oh.”

The woman smiled again. “I thought that might make a difference.”
She glanced at the cop who was busy stifling a giggle. “Would you like
to join us in a cup of coffee and a meal, officer?”

“No thanks, ma’am,” the officer replied. “I’m on duty.”

“Then, perhaps, a cup of coffee to go?”

“Yes, maam. That would be very nice.”

The cafeteria manager turned on his heel, “I’ll get your coffee for you
right away, officer.”

The officer watched him walk away. “You certainly put him in his
place,” he said.

“That was not my intent. Believe it or not, I have a reason for all
this.”

She sat down at the table across from her amazed dinner guest. She stared at
him intently. “Jack, do you remember me?”

Old Jack searched her face with his old, rheumy eyes. “I think so — I
mean you do look familiar.”

“I’m a little older perhaps,” she said. “Maybe I’ve even
filled out more than in my younger days when you worked here, and I came
through that very door, cold and hungry.”

“Ma’am?” the officer said questioningly. He couldn’t believe that
such a magnificently turned out woman could ever have been hungry.

“I was just out of college,” the woman began. “I had come to
the city looking for a job, but I couldn’t find anything. Finally I was down
to my last few cents and had been kicked out of my apartment. I walked the
streets for days. It was February and I was cold and nearly starving. I saw
this place and walked in on the off chance that I could get something to
eat.”

Jack lit up with a smile. “Now I remember,” he said.. “I was
behind the serving counter. You came up and asked me if you could work for
something to eat. I said that it was against company policy.”

“I know,” the woman continued. “Then you made me the biggest
roast beef sandwich that I had ever seen, gave me a cup of coffee, and told
me to go over to a corner table and enjoy it. I was afraid that you would get
into trouble. Then, when I looked over and saw you put the price of my food
in the cash register, I knew then that everything would be all right.”

“So you started your own business?” Old Jack said.

“I got a job that very afternoon. I worked my way up. Eventually I
started my own business that, with the help of God, prospered.” She
opened her purse and pulled out a business card. “When you are finished
here, I want you to pay a visit to a Mr. Lyons. He’s the personnel director
of my company. I’ll go talk to him now and I’m certain he’ll find something
for you to do around the office.” She smiled. “I think he might
even find the funds to give you a little advance so that you can buy some
clothes and get a place to live until you get on your feet. If you ever need
anything, my door is always opened to you.”

There were tears in the old man’s eyes. “How can I ever thank you?”
he said.

“Don’t thank me,” the woman answered. “To God goes the glory.
Thank God. He led me to you.”

Outside the cafeteria, the officer and the woman paused at the entrance
before going their separate ways.

“Thank you for all your help, officer,” she said.

“On the contrary, Ms. Eddy,” he answered. “Thank you. I saw a
miracle today, something that I will never forget. And, and thank you for the
coffee.”

God is going to shift things around for you today and let things work in your
favor.

If you believe, send it.
If you don’t believe, delete it.

God closes doors no man can open & God opens doors no man can close.
If you need God to open some doors for you, send this on.

Have a blessed day and remember to be a blessing.


LIVE WELL, LOVE MUCH, LAUGH OFTEN.
