young man was getting ready to graduate college. For
many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a
dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well
afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited
signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally,
on the morning of his graduation his father called him
into his private study. His father told him how proud
he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much
he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped
gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young
man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound
Bible. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and
said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" and
stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book. He
never contacted his father again for long long time.
Many years passed and the young man was very
successful in business. He had a beautiful home and
wonderful family, but realized his father was very
old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had
not seen him since that graduation day. Before he
could make arrangements, he received a telegram
telling him his father had passed away, and willed all
of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home
immediately and take care things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness
and regret filled his heart. He began to search his
father's important papers and saw the still new Bible,
just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he
opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he
read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope
taped behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's
name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had
desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation,
and the words..PAID IN FULL. How many times do we miss
GOD blessings because they are not packaged as we
expected?
this story touched my heart....
so just wanna convey to u that dont analyse the things as they come to u....
go to see their deeper meanings..they might mean something else in reality.....
something which if not understood at the right time might make u repent in the future.....]
