Gold Wrapping Paper from Swami

[Guest guest]

Om

Jai Sai Raam, I wanted to share this story with you all, Swami gives us so much

and yet we are not aware of it!

 

 

Gold Wrapping

Paper

color:blue">

I received this

from a friend who had a choice to make. It said that I

had a choice to

make too. I've chosen. Now it's your turn to choose.

The story goes

that some time ago a mother punished her 5 year old

daughter for

wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was

tight and she

became even more upset when the child used the gold paper

to decorate a box

to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the

little girl brought the gift box to her mother the

next morning and

said, "This is for you, Momma."

The mother was

embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her Anger

flared again when

she opened the box and found it was empty. She spoke

to her daughter

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?"

She had tears in

her eyes and said, "Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew

kisses into it

until it was full."

The mother was

crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around

her little girl,

and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless

anger.

An accident took

the life of the child only a short time later, and It

is told that the

mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the Years

of her life.

Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems

she 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.

 

May Swami guide

us and bless us to realize it all…

Om Sri Sai Raam

Dear Sai Member,

Thanks for this wonderful e-mail.

I am blessed with Baba's box of blessings as well as

many boxes from my family members. I am very rich in

that sense! I am also trying gift such boxes to my

loved ones as well as whoever I meet in my daily life.

Thanks again.

Jai Sai Ram.
