Touching Story......... Must Read

Inspirational 784 views 9 replies

 

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?

Dear CA. Ratan

 I take first ,the privilage to address in this way,hope you will not mind. I am an FCA practicing in Chennai and my name is avs.narasinga rao. 

it is true that   we miss to see many things when they are available, but , a fact is that if everrything comes in our way , we will not know the value. The real message to be understood from the story is that , had he accepted the bible, his life would have been spoiled , as he can never work on his own get to a great position, love is very much giving but unwanted giving is not love . In the present world many are getting spoiled as they get more than what they deserve. 

this is how i interpret the story and sorry for spelling mistakes as i have undergone  an eye surgery .

with best wishes
