'Gold Wrapping Paper'
I received this from a friend who had a choice to make. It said that I had a choice to make too.
I've chosen. Now it's your turn to choose. The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her five-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and then said, this is for you, Momma.' The mother was embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty. She spoke to her daughter 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?'
She had tears in her eyes and said, 'Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full.' The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for all the years of her life.
Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult problems she 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 g olden box unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and GOD. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold. You now have two choices:
1. Pass this on to your friends, or
2. Delete it and act like it didn't touch your heart.
As you can see, I took choice No. 1. Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet, when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.
If you receive this more than once in return just know that your friends have also thought of you.

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.

That's sad! I've heard a lot of stories like that, and they are all really touching.

Since I only have two options, I choose to "delete it and act like it didn't touch my heart". Although it did touch my heart, it wasn't touching enough for me to pass it along, but "delete it, even though it touched your heart" wasn't an option for me to choose. Probably because they want to guilt trip me into passing it along. I hate when they only give two options and the only other option is the one that makes you feel like an inconsiderate jerk.
