The Gold Wrapping Paper

I received this from a friend who had a choice to make. It said
that I had a choice to make too. I've chosen. Now it's your turn to
choose.

The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her 5 year old
daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.
Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used
 the
gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother
the next morning and said, "This is for you, Momma." The mother was
embarrassed by her earlier over reaction, but her anger flared again
when she opened the box and found it was empty.
She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner "Don't you know,
young lady, when you give someone a present there's supposed to be
something inside the package?"
She had tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Momma , it's not empty!
I blew kisses into it until it was full." The mother was crushed.
She
fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she
begged
her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.

An accident took the life of the child only a short time later,
and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed for
all the years of her life. Whenever she was discouraged or faced
difficult problems she would open the box and take out an imaginary
 kiss
and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, have been given a
Golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our
 children,
family, friends and GOD. There is no more precious possession anyone
could hold.

You  have two choices:
1. Pass this on to your friends, or
2. Delete it
As you can see, I took choice No. 1. Friends are like angels who
lift us to our feet, when our wings have trouble remembering how to
 fly
