Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hi ladies....just thought I'd share this with you... 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.
