myLot reputation of 22/100. future2008 (394) 6 years ago

Story:
------
A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in
business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.

He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible.
It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the
sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation,
and the words...PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not
packaged as we expected?

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! such a beautiful story...thats really gr8....u get a + rating man....cheers for that.....here is mine..This is nice too....
A White woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a Black man.
Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess.
"Madam, what is the matter," the Hostess asked.
"You obviously do not see it then?" she responded.
"You placed me next to a Black man.
I do not agree to sit next to someone from such a repugnant group.

Give me an alternative seat."
"Be calm please, " the Hostess replied.
"Almost all the places on this flight are taken.
I will go to see if another seat is available."
The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later.
"Madam, just as I thought, there are no other available seats
in the Economy class.
I spoke to the Captain and he informed me that there is
also no seats in the Business class.
All the same, we still have one seat in the First class."
Before the woman could say anything, the Hostess continued:
"It is not usual for our company to permit someone from
the Economy class to sit in the First class.
However, given the circumstances,
the Captain feels that it would be scandalous to make
someone sit next to someone so disgusting."
She turned to the Black guy, and said,
"Therefore, Sir,
if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage,
a seat awaits you in First class."
At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by
what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded.

it was really a herat touching story...thanks for sharing with us..
I would say that the ending should never ever happened to anyone,it really hurts....
one should not forget their parents contribution in bringing up to what they are now...we should really respect them from the inside of the heart..

this is a really really great story. it would probaly amaze most of us how many times we overlook things that are really important because we have our focus on other things that we think at the time are important. i think it just basically states that we should slow down once in a while and look at things a little more carefully.

very good story! it's true! sometimes we don't see God's blessing because we are expcting them in a different way. it's so funny that we always forget that God moves in mysterious ways. i guess it will always be like that. I guess that's human nature. but hopefully this story will inspire more and more people.

"GOD give me a flower and give me a butterfly too", I prayed to the God. In the garden I found not a flower but a cactus and a caterpillar. I was dismayed for days together. Then one bright morning I found a colorful flower grown on the cactus. I was delighted. My heart rejoiced because a sweet butterfly hovered around the flower.
God knows what you need.
What you want may not be what you need.
If you trust God, you get the right things at the right time. What you think is a thorn can turn out to be a flower.
Blessings do come in disguise.
Everything that you get is from HIM.
Everything that you give is to HIM.
(It is not intended to label God as HIM, to assert that God is a male. It is just a form of expression and feminists will please pardon me for that.)
Trust God,
to give you good things, after every dark night there is a bright day light.
Trust God,
for whatever happens, happens for your highest good.
drashok


flower with love
