I've received from a friend.
I'd like to
send it to you so that you can enjoy it.
Many Blessings!!!
I have in
my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold.
He said,
'Put all your sorrows in the black
And all your
joys in the gold.'
I heeded His words,
and in the two boxes
Both my joys and sorrows I stored,
But though
the gold became heavier each day
The black was as light as
before.
With curiosity,
I opened the black,
I wanted to find out
why,
And I saw,
in the base of the box a hole
Which my sorrows had fallen out
by.
I showed the hole to God,
and mused,
'I wonder where my sorrows 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.'
We should consider
all of our friends a blessing.
Send this to a friend today
just to let them know
you are thinking of them and that
they are a joy in your life:
A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end.
It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends
But the treasure inside for you to see
Is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.
Today I pass the friendship ball to you.
Pass it on to someone who is a friend to
you...
