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.

The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her 5 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 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, Mo! mma, 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 Golden box filled with 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 tou! ch 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.
