Touching Life Story
(PLEASE READ)
A 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.
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's blessings
because they are not packaged as we
expected?
