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. Never the less, the girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you Daddy,” He was then embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box to be empty. He yelled at her “Don’t you know 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’s not empty, I blew kisses into the box all for you daddy.” The father was crushed he put his arms around the little girl and he begged for her forgiveness.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later and it’s said that the man kept that gold box by his bed for many 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, Family, Friends, and Our Heavenly Father. There‘s no more precious possessions anyone could ever hold.
