The Golden Box

======================

Some time ago a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for wasting

a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and

he became even more upset when the child pasted the gold paper

so as to decorate a box.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her father

the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."

The father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his

anger flared again when he found the box was empty.

He spoke to her in a harsh manner, "Don't you know, young lady,

when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something

inside the package?"

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and

said, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until

it was full."

The father was crushed.

He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl,

and he begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later

and it is told that the father kept that gold box by his bed for

all the years of his life. And whenever he was discouraged or

faced difficult problems he 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 has been given

a golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our

children, family, friends and God. There is no more precious

possession anyone could hold.
