The story goes
that some time ago, a man punished his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll
of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child
tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree. Nevertheless, the
little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said,
“This is for you, Daddy.”

little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy,
it’s not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They’re all for you,
Daddy.”

filled with unconditional love and kisses… from our children, family members,
friends, and God. There is simply no other possession, anyone could hold, more
precious than this.
