愛這片充滿了愛和理解的土地，特把這篇剛收到的文章與大家分享。

Breakfast at McDonald's

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.

The last class I had to take was Sociology.

The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.

Her last project of the term was called, 'Smile.'

The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.

It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.

I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.

As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling'。 His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.

He said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.

The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there with them.

The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.

He said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).

Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes..

That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.

I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.

He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'

I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope.'

I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope..'

We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.

We are not church goers, but we are believers.

That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.

I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.

I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it.

Then she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?'

I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.

She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.

In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son,the instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:

UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE

高興

感動

同情

搞笑

難過

拍磚

支持

鮮花

剛剛感動了一下，趁眼淚沒幹，就轉過來了。

常做難，偶爾一次可以。

回復 newsound 2009-5-23 01:31: 還是要帶孩子去教會，雖然他不一定一輩子都是CHURCH GOER，但FAITH，HOPE，LOVE，GRACE，HUMBLE，DIGNITY，JUSTICE。。。這些做人的基本要素已在心裡，對他一生都有好處。

回復 rongrongrong 2009-5-23 01:33: BLESSED

我還沒有，真的很想這麼做！
但讓孩子參加了男童和女童軍。
謝謝！

nod nod nod..

我覺得童軍更傾向於技術層面的東西，心靈的滋養有所欠缺。當然培養團隊精神，領導能力，實施完成一項任務，這些訓練都是非常重要的。

常做的是不是太傻？俺的覺悟還不高。

that's a saint, not human

回復八年 2009-5-23 10:14: 不錯的文章？問一個問題，如果去麥當勞，不買任何東西，可不可以坐在裡面呢？

回復 sd34 2009-5-23 10:30: 到周末了，感動一下~~

我到是沒有去坐過，我覺得沒人會趕你吧，但Homeless可能會被趕。

回復 xoyuanfen 2009-5-23 10:40: sd34: 到周末了，感動一下~~
是，剛和Marnifan討論了，一直這樣做就是聖人了，如果人人偶爾為之，這世界也就很溫暖了。

憑什麼趕人家，如果在英國有這樣，肯定被人罵死，HOMELESS也是人，我也沒試過，就是有時候找廁所去過幾次，根本沒人搭理你！
