randalln Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Touching Life Story (PLEASE READ) A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL. How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go to see him and my Aunt after work some days. He used to ask me at times to go get him a candy bar. It used to pee me off that he would ask me to waste my gas just to go get him a candy bar. I just wish I had the chance to get him one now. I am 64 now and think of those times and how selfish I was then. Go RV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the best news is that he still knows and loves you. Great post, Randalin!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
