The precious gift of love
"Some time ago, a friend of mine 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 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 overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found
that 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 of 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 her forgiveness.
My friend told me that he kept that old box by
his bed for 7 years. Whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an
imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put itthere.
In a very real sense, each of us has been given a gold container
filled with unconditional love and kisses....the love of Jesus.
There is no more precious possession anyone could hold."
