A young man was geting ready to graduate college. For many month 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 caled 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 ur money u give me a Bible?" n stormed out of the house,leaving the holy book.
Many years passed n the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home n wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him.He hadn't seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements,he received a telegram teling him his father had passed away n willed all of his possessions to his son.He needed to come home immediately n take care things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness n regret filed his heart. He began to search his father's important papers n saw the stil new Bible,just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible n 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's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?
If ur gift is not packed the way u want it, it's because it is better packed that way.
Do take note that blessings may comes in different package.
