God's boxes

Tweet

I have in my hands two boxes which god gave me to hold.He said:"Put all your sarrows in the black box,and all you joys in the gold,"I heeded his words,and in the two boxes both my joys and sarrows I stored. But though the gold became heavier each day.the black was as light as before.With curiosity,I opened the black I want to find out why.And I saw,in the base of the box,a hole which my sarrows had fallen out by. I showed the hold to God,and mused,"I wonder where my sarrows 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."
