Box of Kisses

I heard about a father who got very cranky with his little girl for trying to decorate a box with expensive gold paper. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” But he got cranky again when he discovered there was nothing inside it. However, she just looked up at him and said: ‘But it’s not empty. I blew kisses into it, just for you.’ Well you can imagine how much of a heel he felt. He lost that little girl in an accident some months later, but he kept the box by his bed for the rest of his life, and whenever he felt low, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
Each of us has a box like that, filled with unconditional love from our children, friends, family and from God. What we need to do is learn to treasure it
