Hope you will enjoy and be blessed with this story.
A married lady was expecting a birthday gift from her husband. For
many months she had admired a beautiful diamond ring in a
showroom, and knowing her husband could afford it, she told him
that was all she wanted.
As her birthday approached, this lady awaited signs
that her husband had purchased the diamond ring.
Finally, on the morning of her birthday, her husband called her into
his studyroom. Her husband told her how proud he was to have such a
good wife, and told her how much he loved her. He handed her a beautiful
wrapped gift box. Curious, the wife opened the box and found a lovely,
leather-bound Bible, with the wife's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, she raised her voice to her husband and said, "With all your money
you give me a Bible? and stormed out of the house, leaving her husband.
Many years passed and the married lady was very successful in business.
She managed to settle for a more beautiful house and a wonderful family,
but realized her ex-husband was very old, and thought perhaps she should go
to visit him. She had not seen him for many years.
But before she could make arrangements, she received a telegram telling
her that her ex-husband had passed away, and willed all of his possessions
to her. She needed to come back immediately and take care of things.
When she arrived at her ex-husband's house, sudden sadness and
regret filled her heart. She began to search through her ex-husband's
important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as she had left it
years ago.
With tears, she opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.
Her ex-husband had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11,
"And if you, being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much
more shall your Heavenly Father which is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?"
As she read those words, a tiny package dropped from the back of the Bible.
It had diamond ring with her name engraved on it, the same diamond ring which
she saw at the showroom. On the tag was the date of her birth, and the words..
'LUV U ALWAYS'...
How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged
as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this.
Pass it on to others. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not;
but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped
for...
IF YOUR GIFT IS NOT PACKED THE WAY YOU WANT IT,
IT'S BECAUSE IT IS BETTER PACKED THAT WAY!
Have A Great Day
