*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 holybook.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He
had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized hisfather was
very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him
since that graduation day. Before he could makearrangements, he received
a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his
possessions to his son. Heneeded 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 andsaw 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? *
