THE GIFT PACKED DIFFERENTLY

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 the graduation day approached,the young man awaited signs that his father has purchased the car.finally on the morning of his graduation
his father called him in his private study.His father told him hw proud he was 2 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 dissapointed 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 ur money u gimme 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 wonderful family and a beautiful home.but realised his father was very old and perhaps he should go to him.He had not seen him since the graduation day.Before he could make arrangements,he recieved a telegram telling him his father has passed away
and willed all of his possesions to his son.He needed to come home immediately and take care things
When he arrived at his fathers house,sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.



He began to search his fathers important papers and saw the still new bible
,just as he left 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 the tag with dealers name,the same dealer who had the sports car he desired.

ON THE TAG THERE WAS THE DATE OF HIS GRADUATION AND THE WORDS....PAID IN FULL



HW MANY TIMES DO WE MISS GODS BLESSINGS BECAUSE THEY R NOT PACKED AS WE EXPECTED...
