Glass of Milk 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 so 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.
Many year's later that same 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 her 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, and 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 Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, God, that your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands."
There's a saying, which goes something like this:
Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?

I also have a tendency to adhere with a million or 2 % milk in line with what i'm making. If i'm ingesting chocolate milk then i'm going to apply a million % yet whilst i'm making on the spot pudding, i'm going to apply 2% milk. it relatively is an identical with the powder which i take advantage of purely for warm cocoa or tiramisu, together as i take advantage of the syrup for chocolate milk or ice cream topping.

Nice- Just see how much strength and even faith one can get from a glass of milk which comes from mother cow. Milk is also called liquid religion because it gives so much nourishment to the brain that one can understand religious principles. This is written in the ancient Vedas. Milk is so pure and so nourishing to us humans (by the mercy of the Supreme Lord also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama, etc.) The cow is the most favorite animal of the Lord and is considered the greatest sin to kill one. For killing a human the karma is to be killed by a human in this life or the next, but for killing a cow one will have to come back and be killed as many times as their are hairs on the body of the Cow. IT is said that many demi gods live in the body of a cow. We can just see why our world is suffering so much by this dreadful activity of cow killing and eating their flesh. Krishna says in the Gita "As long as there is animal slaughter, there will be war and famine." Please join me in stopping this abomination of animal slaughter and eating animal flesh by being vegetarian, and stop war and famine. One animal at a time one human life at a time. World Peace.

it's a nice story, but I fail to see how anyone gets proper credit beyond the two charitable human beings involved.
