I recently heard a lovely story of a small boy who packs his backpack with Twinkies and juice boxes and goes to leave the house.
His Mom says, Where are you going? The boy says, I am going to find God. So off he goes.
He ends up in a local park and sits on a bench next to a homeless woman.
He takes out a Twinkie and a juice box and starts to unwrap them.
The woman watches and smiles at him and he laughs and offers her a Twinkie and a juice box. They both eat, talk, laugh, and enjoy each other.
Soon, the boy says goodbye and sets off for home. The woman leaves and goes off to find her friends.
When the boy gets home, his mother asks, Did you find God?
He says enthusiastically, Yes, and God is a woman!
The homeless woman meets up with her friends and says, I met God in the park today – and he is a little boy! […]
We bring Christ wherever we are.
