The Perfect Christmas
Gift For Dad
We often learn the most
from our children. Some time ago,a friend of mine 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 tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to
her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."
He was embarrassed
by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found that
the box was empty. He yelled at her, "Don't you know that when you give
someone a present, there's supposed to be something inside of it?"
The little girl
looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Daddy, it's not
empty. I blew kisses into the box. All for you, Daddy."
The father was
crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged her
forgiveness.
My friend told
me that he kept that gold box by his bed for years. Whenever he was discouraged,
he would 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 parents has been given a gold container filled with unconditional
love and kisses from our children. There is no more precious possession
anyone could hold.
