I Often Wonder About Myself...

*I GOT THIS IN AN E-MAIL TONIGHT AND I CRIED FOR A WHILE...*
It's said that we have a choice to make. I've
chosen.
Now it's your turn to choose.
The story goes that some time ago, a man punished
his 5-year-old daughter
for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping
paper. Money was tight and
he became even more upset when the child pasted
the gold paper so as to
decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little
girl brought the gift box to her father the next
morning and said, "This
is for you, Daddy." The father was embarrassed by
his earlier
overreaction, but his anger flared again when he
found the box was
empty. He spoke to her in a harsh manner: "Don't
you know, young lady,
when you give someone a present there's supposed
to be something inside
the package?" The little girl looked up at him
with tears in her eyes
and said: "Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses
into it until it was
full." The father was crushed. He fell on his
knees and put his arms
around his little girl, and he begged her to
forgive him for his
unnecessary anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a
short time later and it is
told that the father kept that gold box by his bed
for all the years of
his life and whenever he was discouraged or faced
difficult problems he
would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss
and remember the love
of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us as human beings
have been given a golden
box filled with unconditional love and kisses from
our children, family,
friends and God.
There is no more precious possession anyone could
hold.
