Gold Wrapping Paper

I received this from my husband today and just had to share it.

Gold Wrapping Paper

I received this from a friend who had a choice to make. It said that I had a choice to make too.
I've chosen. Now it's your turn to choose.

The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her five year old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and then said, 'This is for you, Momma.'

The mother was embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty.. She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner, 'Don't you know, young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package?'

She had tears in her eyes and said, 'Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full..'

The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the years of her life.

Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems she would open the box and 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 human beings, have been given a Golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and GOD. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet, when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Merry CHRISTmas

I want to wish all my fellow bloggers out there a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. We must not let the secular world take away our reason of celebrating this season. We as Christians must take our stand NOW to not let the media, Hollywood or anyone to tell us that we can't say Merry Christmas. I am making a point this Christmas to say that everyone I can, even in stores to strangers and u would not believe the response I get. There is more of us out there than the media knows, if we would just come together as one as a WHOLE church they would be defeated. So to everyone who reads this have a very Merry CHRISTmas and a BLESSED New Year.
