The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year old
daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight
and he was furious when the child tried to decorate a box.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the
next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy." He was embarrassed
by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found
the box was empty. He yelled at her,"Don't you know when you give
someone a present, there's supposed to be something inside it?
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said,
"Oh, Daddy, it's not empty, I blew kisses into the box. All for you,
Daddy."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl,
and he begged for her forgiveness.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and
it is told that the man 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 of us as humans have been given a gold
container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our
children, friends, family or God. There is no more precious
possession anyone could hold.
