Two Boxes
(
Please keep it going. This has been going since Dec. 1, 2000 ~ please send it
on.)
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,
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.
Today I pass the friendship
ball to you.
Pass it on to someone who is a friend to
you...
