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 small 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. Then 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 her forgiveness. My friend told me that he kept that gold box near 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.
