Subject: Unconditional Love from a Child;
We sometimes learn the most from our
children. Some time ago, a friend punished
his 3-yr.old 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.Nevertheless, the little child brought
the gift to her father the next morning and
said, "This is for you,Daddy." He was
embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, 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,that there's supose to be something
inside?" The little girl looked up at him
w/tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Daddy,
its not empty.I blew kisses into the box; I
filled it w/my love; all for you, Daddy."
The father was crushed.He put his arms
around her and begged her forgiveness.He
later told 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 as parents
has been given a gold container filled
w/unconditional love & kisses from our
children.There is no more precious
possession anyone could hold.
