A father chided his five-year old daughter for wasting a roll of expansive gold wrapping paper. Money was scarce and he became even more upset when the child wasted the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
The little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said: “this is for u Daddy”. The father felt embarrassed. Had he overreacted the previous night? To his annoyance, he found out that the box was empty. “Don’t u know young lady, when u give someone a present u are supposed to place the gift inside the package?”
The little girl’s eyes filled with tears. “Daddy, it’s not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full,” she said. The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl and begged her to forgive him for being so ignorant.
Few days later an accident took the life of the child. The father kept that gold box by his bed for the rest of his life. And whenever he was discouraged or faced problems he would open the box and take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
Each one of us as human beings have been given a golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God. Nothing can be more precious and nothing is more taken than for granted than unconditional love....
HOHOHO....MERRY CHRISTMAS to all.
