Guest guest Posted March 21, 2001 Report Share Posted March 21, 2001 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 give 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.
