A GLASS OF MILK

March 29, 2008

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 of 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’

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.’ Now you have two choices:

1.You can send this page on and spread a positive message.

Or

2. Ignore it and pretend it never touched your heart.

In Case of Emergency – Please make a note of it.

March 28, 2008

Hello Friends…..

WE all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, know which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.  If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn’t know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency?  Hence this “ICE” (In case of  Emergency) Campaign.

The concept of “ICE” is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations.   As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population. all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name “ICE” (In Case of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents. there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn’t know which number to call.  He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.  In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as “ICE”.

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 or ICE Residence, ICE Office or ICE Papa or ICE Mr….. etc.

A Great Idea that will make a difference!

Let’s spread the concept of “ICE” by storing an ICE number in our Mobile Phone today!

Please forward this. It won’t take too many “forwards” before everybody will know about this it really could save your life, or put a loved one’s mind at rest.

ICE will speck for you when you are not able to….
