Sometime 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.

Nevertheless, the little 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 overreaction, 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, "Oh!,  Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full."  The father was crushed. He fell to his knees and put his arms around his little girl, and he begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.

An unfortunate 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 had 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,  friends, and God. There is no more precious possession anyone can hold.

Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

And A Meadow Lark Sang

"The child whispered, 'God, speak to me'
And a meadow lark sang.
The child did not hear.

So the child yelled, 'God, speak to me!'
And the thunder rolled across the sky
But the child did not listen.

The child looked around and said,
'God let me see you' and a star shone brightly
But the child did not notice.

And the child shouted,
'God show me a miracle!'
And a life was born but the child did not know.

So the child cried out in despair,
'Touch me God, and let me know you are here!'
Whereupon God reached down
And touched the child.

But the child brushed the butterfly away
And walked away unknowingly."
