Thestory goes that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter forwasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he becameinfuriated(愤怒的) when the child tried todecorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the little girlbrought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is foryou, Daddy."

Theman was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared againwhen he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't youknow, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be somethinginside? The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried,"Oh, Daddy, it's not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They're allfor you, Daddy."

Thefather was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged forher forgiveness.

Onlya short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also toldthat her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever hewas discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love ofthe child who had put it there.

Ina very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a goldcontainer filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, familymembers, friends, and God. There is simply no other possession, anyone couldhold, more precious than this.
