Something to Remember Some time ago, a friend of mine 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 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 over reaction, but his anger flared again when he found that the box was empty.
He yelled at her, "Don't you know that when you give someone a
present, there's supposed to be something inside of 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. My friend
told me that he kept that gold box by his bed for years. 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 has been given a
gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses. There is no more
precious possession anyone could hold.
