"The Gold Box"

        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 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,"

       He was embarrassed by his earlier over-
         reaction,  but his anger flared again when
        he found the box was empty. He yelled at her,
        "Don't you know that 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 is 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. It is told that the man kept
 that
       gold box by his bed for 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.

        You now have the choice, you can:
        Pass  this  on  to  your  friends ~
   Or  Delete  it  and  act  like  it  didn't  touch
 your  heart....
