GOD'S Boxes

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:
