It is told that the man kept that gold box by his
bed for 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, friends, family or God.
There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
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 angry when the child
tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas 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 overreaction, but his anger flared again when
he found 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 it?"
The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes
and said,
"Oh, Daddy, it isn't 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.
