This is a lovely story. (Pls take some of your valuable time to read it)
It's said that we have a choice to make. I've chosen.
Now it's you turn to choose.
The story goes that 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 to put under the Christmas tree.
Neverthless, the 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 over reaction, 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,
"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 has put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given a
golden
box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family
and
friends. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
You now have two choices...
You can:
1. Pass this on to your friends, or
2. Delete it and act like it didn't touch you heart.
