8.Once upon a time,a man beat his 5-year-old daughter for using up the family's only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.Money was too little,and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve,he saw that the child had pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.
However,the next morning the little girl,filled with excitement,brought the gift box to her father and said,"This is for you,Daddy!"
23As he opened the box,the father was embarrassed by what he had done.
But after he opened it,he found it was empty and again his shouted at her."Don't you know,young lady,"he said angrily,"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 all full."
The father was too sorry about it.He fell on his knees and put his arms around his lovely little girl.He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
24An accident took the life of the child only a short time later.
It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life.Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box,take out an imaginary kiss,and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.
In a very real sense,each of us as human beings have been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children,family,friends and God.
There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
