A Box of Kisses.

And now for a little story to brighten your day. Its about a little child and an empty box. Its called:

A Box of Kisses.

Once upon a time, not long ago there was a recession in the land and many families were finding it hard. Money was tight and bills had to be paid. A father came in from work and saw his 3 year old daughter trying to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. She was using a roll of gold wrapping paper that his wife had bought especially and he shouted at his daughter for being so wasteful.

However, the next morning the little girl brought the box to her father and said “This is for you daddy”

He felt very sorry for shouting at her but his anger got the better of him again when upon opening the box he saw it was empty.

Once again he shouted at her “Don’t you know when you give someone a present there’s supposed to be something in the box”

With tears in her eyes the little girl looked up to her daddy and said “But daddy it’s not empty, I blew kisses into the box just for you”

The father was stunned into silence; putting his arms around his child he begged her forgiveness.

He kept that gold box beside his bed for many years and whenever he felt upset or depressed he would open the box take out a kiss and remember the little girl who had put it there.

You know when you think about it each one of us has been given a gold box filled with unconditional love and kisses. It might have been given by children, family, friends, or someone who loves you and there can be no more precious a gift or possession.
