Two
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. Why not
take a moment to share this with 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 and 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,
We are giving this friendship ball to you. Why not pass
it on to someone who is a friend to you???
