A Box Full of Kisses

Tweet

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished hi 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 chritmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you Daddy." The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. he yelled at her, stating," Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed something to be inside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried,"Oh, daddy, it is not empty at all. I blew kisses in the box. Thy're all for you Daddy." The father was crushed. He put his arma around hi little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. Only a short time later, an accident took the life of a child. It is also told that his father kept thet gold box by his bed for many years and, ehenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put in there. In a very real sense, each one of us, as human beings, have been given a gold container filled with unconditional llove and kisses...from our family, friends, and God. There is simply no other possesion, anyone could hold, more precious than this...
