A great Reward

  

Once upon a time a beautiful and radiant angel came down to Earth.

It was looking for a child who could act as a connection between Earth and Heaven. The child should have noble feelings, good-will and love to one another.

As a reward, the child would be taken a visit to superior places in order to learn and play during the night time whilst at sleep. 

The  angel  passed  by  a  city  and saw a nice boy. It

approached him and invited him to help a family who was in need in the surroundings. The boy said: 

— I can’t do it now! I need to destroy a nest of birds that are ruining my orchard, but maybe later... 

He then took his slingshot and left. 

The angel felt really sad because he saw CRUELTY on the boy and went away. 
 

Soon later it found a little girl. It approached her very hopeful. She was invited to help those in need with the angel. She thought and said: 

— I can’t do it now. It is time for me to play with my friends who are waiting for me. Maybe later... 

The angel then realised SELF-FISHNESS was there with the child, and left feeling very sad.  

He then found another boy who it decided to approach him, hoping to find the one. The boy lived in a nice house and seemed to have free time. The angel talked to him who then said: 

— Ah! I don’t know. Are you sure they are really in need? Have a look at this boy here at our front door. He looks like he is cleverly approaching our house to steel from us. These sorts of people do not mislead me. Out! Out! Tramp! Go away and work! 

When the angel heard these cruel words, which showed the boy’s ARROGANCE, it decided to leave without saying a word. 

The angel proceeded searching for the child who would  present  the  basic  requirements, which were

noble feelings, good-will and love to one another. 

The angel was almost giving up, when he saw a shabby boy. It approached him and invited the boy to help. It was feeling hopeless, because the boy looked very poor. 

The boys’ eyes sparkled when he heard the angel’s invite: 

— Oh, yes I will come with you! Could you please wait a little bit? I need to go home and drop these things for my family. I went out to do some shopping for lunch. I live near by. Would you like to come to my house? 

The angel felt really please when it noticed the boy’s good-will. When they arrived, the poverty of the family was very noticeable. 

The boy talked very friendly with the animals that came to meet him at the front of the house. 

— My friends! Did you think I forgot about you? Here is what I brought you — he then took a piece of bread he got as a present and distributed to the hungry animals. 

He then goes inside the house. 

— Mom! — The boy said. — I am going to visit some people in need. Can I take something for them? They must be hungry. I know we don’t have much, but I don’t need anything. I will take the part that belongs to me. Don’t worry about the kitchen; I will clean it when I am back. Is that ok? 

The angel then realised he found what he was looking for. He felt really touched with the boy’s attitude.   

The boy helped a sick person, gave a bath to a small child and helped a lady with her house duties. When he finished helping he was tired, but happy. He said to the lady: 

— Don’t worry. I will try to find work for your husband. I help a very rich lady sometimes. They are a good family and I am sure they will find him a job. 

He then paused and said: 

— I have so much confidence in God! He never abandons us. 

The poor lady felt better and thanked the boy’s help. He then said good-bye and promised to come back as soon as he could. 

The angel felt very touched and said to him: 

— Congratulations! You deserve a reward for your GOOD-WILL and LOVE TO ONE ANOTHER. You will receive all help needed from today onwards to proceed with your task to help the others. God needs the help of good people to implement his Kingdom of Love in Earth. 

At night the buy had beautiful dreams. He was taken to very happy places in the Spiritual world where he received instructions to work. He woke up next day feeling refreshed and ready to face life.
