Inspiring Story: A Box Full of Kisses..

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 

infuriated 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." 

The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, 

but his anger flared again when he found out the box 

was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, 

when you give someone a present, there is supposed 

to be something inside? 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 all for you, Daddy."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his 

little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness. 

Only a short time later, an accident took the life of 

the child. It is also told that her father kept that 

gold box by his bed for many 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.

Lesson from the Inspiring Story: 


In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, 

have been given a gold container filled with 

unconditional love and kisses... from our children, 

family members, friends, and God.
