"Gold Wrapping Paper"
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.
