THE BIRTHDAY PACKAGE - Moral &
Inspirational Story
This story you're about to read
has an important lesson for you
to learn. So, read it carefully...
A young married woman whose
husband was a wealthy man was
expecting a birthday gift from
her husband. For quite a number
of months she had admired a
very beautiful diamond ring in a showroom, and she knowing that
her husband could afford it, if
he would, told him that was all
she wanted for her birthday,
and nothing more. As her
birthday was drawing nigh, this lady awaited signs that her
husband had bought the
diamond ring.
At last, her birthday finally
came. On the morning of her
birthday, her husband called her
into his room. He told her how
proud he was to have such a
good wife as her and told her how much he loved her. After
telling her all sort of sweet
talks, he finally handed her a
beautifully wrapped gift box.
Very excited and curious, the
wife opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible,
with the her name embossed in
gold. Angrily, she raised her
voice to her husband and said,
'With all your money, a Bible was
all you could give me?!!' And stormed out of the house,
leaving her husband.
Many years passed and the lady
was very successful in all her
dealings and business. She
managed to settle for a more
beautiful house and a new
wonderful family, but realized her ex-husband was very old,
and thought perhaps she should
sayhim a visit because she had
not seen him for so many years.
But before she could make
travelling arrangements, she received a text message telling
her that her ex-husband had
died, and willed all of his
possessions to her. She needed
to come back immediately and
take care of things. When she arrived at her ex-husband's
house, sudden sadness and
regret filled her heart. She
began to search through her
ex-husband's important papers
and saw the Bible, still as new as when it was presented to
her.
she had left it years before.
With tears, she opened the Bible
and began to turn the pages.
Her ex-husband had carefully
underlined a verse, Matt 7:11,
which reads 'And if you, being evil, know how to give good
gifts to your children, how much
more shall your Heavenly Father,
who is in heaven, give what is
good to those who ask Him?' As
she read those words, a tiny package dropped from the back
of the Bible. It had a diamond
ring, with her name engraved on
it-the same diamond ring which
she saw at the showroom! On
the tag, the date of her birth, and the words.'LUV U ALWAYS'
were inscribed.
How many times do we miss
God's blessings, because they
are not packaged as we
expected? Do not spoil what you
have, by desiring what you have
not; but remember that what you now have was once among
the things you only hoped for.
Moral of the story: Always
appreciate little things,
irrespective of how small they
seem.
