GOD'S BOXES
I have in my hands two boxes Which God gave me to hold. He
said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your
joys in the gold."
I heeded His words, and in the two boxes Both my joys and
sorrows I stored, But though the gold became heavier each
day The black was as light as before.
With curiosity, I opened the black box, I wanted to find out
why, And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole Which my
sorrows had fallen out by.
I showed the hole to God, and mused, "I wonder where my
sorrows could be." He smiled a gentle smile and said, "My
child, they're all here with me."
I asked, "God, why He gave me the boxes, Why the gold, and
the black with the hole?" "My child, the gold is for you to
count your blessings, The black is for you to let go."
We should consider all of our friends a blessing. Send
this to a friend today just to let them know you are
thinking of them and that they are a joy in your life: A
ball is a circle, no beginning, no end. It keeps us together
like our Circle of Friends But the treasure inside for you
to see Is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.
