A Box Full of Kisses (inspirational)

[Guest guest]

A Box Full of KissesSome time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for

wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated

when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.

 

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning

and said, "This is for you, Daddy." The man was embarrassed by his earlier

overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty.

He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present,

there is supposed to be something inside?

 

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, "Oh, Daddy,

it is not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They are all for you,

Daddy."The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he

begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life

of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for

many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss

and remember the love of the child who had put it there.In a very real sense,

each one of us has been given a ‘gold’ container filled with unconditional

love and kisses... from our children, family members, friends, and most

especially by God!

 

There is simply no other possession anyone could hold, more precious and valuable than this.

Happiness lives for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and

those who have tried, for........... only they can appreciate the importance of

those who have touched their lives.
