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, 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 aloud,
I wonder where my sorrows could be.
He smiled a gentle smile at me.
"My child, they're all here with me."

I asked, "God, why give me the two boxes,
Why not the black with the hole only ?
Why the gold as well?"

"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 Sharing to 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, 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 I pass the friendship ball to you.
Pass it on to someone who is a friend to you....
