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 brought the 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, "Don't you know when you
give someone a present, there's supposed to
putsomething inside it?"
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her
eyes and said, "Oh, Daddy, it's not empty, I blew
kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his
little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
It is told that the man kept that gold box by hisbed
for years and whenever he was discouraged, he would
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 humans, have been
given a gold container filled with unconditional love
and kisses from our children, friends, family.
