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. 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?
If this touched your heart, please pass it on, does
not matter what religion you belong to... the message
is for everyone
