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."
The man was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger flared again when he found out the box was empty. He yelled at her, stating, "Don't you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? The 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."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her forgiveness.
Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many years and, whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each one of us, as humans beings, have been given a gold container 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.

This is long so I will break it down for you. Another time a Son was away from home and his Father worried about him all the time as the son left angrily and the father had not seen him in years. The father was very ill and not expected to live a few years later and the son wanted to come home and ask for forgiveness of what he had done, and the father had given him a Bible years earlier for a present. the son called home when he got the news about his father, and his father told him he was welcomed back home but his time was short. The son asked the father for the money to get a bus ticket and the father told him that he had the means to buy one and always had. As time went on and the father passed away, the son arrived heart broken and was so sad and miserable that he was not there at his fathers passing and was grief stricken. The son remembered the Bible that his father had given him a few years earlier and opened it, and stuck between the pages was a Hundred Dollar bill with the words written on it, "I forgive you of everything because I love you and there is always a place for you here. The son broke down and cried as all he had to do was open the Bible and read it and the money would have fell out at his feet.
