ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE LITTLE THINGS !
A married lady was expecting a birthday gift from her
husband. For
many months she had admired a beautiful diamond ring in a
showroom,
and knowing her husband could afford it, she told him that
was all she
wanted.
As her birthday approached, this lady awaited signs that her
husband
had purchased the diamond ring. Finally, on the morning of
her
birthday, her husband called her into his study room. Her
husband told
her how proud he was to have such a good wife, and told her
how much
he loved her. He handed her a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, the
wife opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible,
with the
wife’s name embossed in gold.
Angrily, she raised her voice to her husband and said, “With
all your
money you give me a Bible? and stormed out of the house,
leaving her
husband.
Many years passed and the lady was very successful in
business.. She
managed to settle for a more beautiful house and a
wonderful family,
but realized her ex-husband was very old, and thought
perhaps she
should go to visit him. She had not seen him for many years.
But
before she could make arrangements, she received a
telegram telling
her that her ex-husband had passed away, and willed all of
his
possessions to her. She needed to come back immediately and
take care
of things.
When she arrived at her ex-husband’s house, sudden sadness
and regret
filled her heart. She began to search through her ex-
husband’s
important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as she had
left it
years before.
With tears, she opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. Her
ex-husband had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11, “And if you,
being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much
more shall your Heavenly Father, who is in heaven, give to those who
ask Him?”
As she read those words, a tiny package dropped from the back of the
Bible. It had a diamond ring, with her name engraved on it — the same
diamond ring which she saw at the showroom. On the tag was the date of
her birth, and the words…’LUV U ALWAYS’…
How many times do we miss God’s blessings, because they are not
packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass it on to
others.
Do not spoil what you have, by desiring what you have not;
but
remember that what you now have was once among the
things you only
hoped for.
IF YOUR GIFT IS NOT PACKAGED THE WAY YOU WANT
IT, IT’S BECAUSE IT IS
BETTER PACKAGED THE WAY IT IS! ALWAYS
APPRECIATE LITTLE THINGS; THEY
USUALLY LEAD YOU TO BIGGER THINGS!
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be
seen or
even touched.. They must be felt with the heart.”
