Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 A special story ... The story goes that sometime ago a mother punished her five year old daughter for wasting an expensive roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she got 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 mother t he next morning and said, " This is for you, Momma. " The mother was embarrassed by her earlier reaction but her anger flared again when she found the box empty. Speaking in a harsh manner, the mother said, " Don't you know, young lady, that when you give a present to someone there's supposed to be something inside? " The little girl looked up to her mother with tears in her eyes and said, " Momma, it's not empty. I blew kisses until it was full. " The mother was crushed. She fell to her knees and put her arms around her daughter and begged her to forgive her for her unnecessary anger. An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it is told that the mother kept the gold box by the side of her bed for all the years of her life. Whenever she was discouraged or faced with 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 from our children, family and friends. There is no more precious a possession that anyone could hold. ....source and author unknown _______________________ Hello Friends, I find that after reading the story, that life is very short and that we should at all times appreciate the gifts and blessings that come to us in many different ways. The greatest perhaps are those that come from the heart. These are pricesless. That is why I keep saying that our lives and every day we have is so precious. Hope that you have a great day.
