The story goes that some time ago, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter
for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight,
and he became even more upset when the child pasted the gold paper so as
to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the
little girl brought the gift box to her father the next morning and said,
"This is for you, Daddy." The father was embarrassed by his earlier over
reaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty. He
spoke to her 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?" The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and
said, "Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was full."
The father was crushed.... He fell on his knees and put his arms around
his little girl, and he begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary
anger.

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

And whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems, he 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
and friends. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
