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 brougth 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 the box was empty.
He yelled at her ,"Dot'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."
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 and and God .There is no more precious possession anyine could hold.
