Worth some thinking, or say rethinking (don't miss this)

[Guest guest]

Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private

study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told

him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.

Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a

lovely, leather-bound Quran. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and

said, "With all your money you give me a Quran?" and stormed out of the house,

leaving the holy book. Many years passed and the young man was very successful

in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his

father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen

him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a

telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his

possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care

things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret

filled his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw the

still new Quran, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the

Quran and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped

from an envelope taped behind the Quran. It had a tag with the dealer's name,

the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date

of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL. How many times do we miss

ALLAH blessings because they are not PACKAGED as we expected? If this touched

your heart, please pass it on; it really touched mine.
