The Bible - Nice Story

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many
months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers 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, with the young man's name embossed in
gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all!
your money you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house,
leaving the Bible.

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, but 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 of things. When he arrived at his father's house,
sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his
father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he
had left it years ago. Wi! th tears, he opened the Bible and began to
turn the pages.

His father had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11, "And if ye,
being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much
more shall your Heavenly Father which is in heaven, give to those who
ask Him?". As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of
the Bible. It had a tag with the dealers 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? If this touched your heart, please pass it
on. May God's blessings touch your life always.

praying is the part of my life.mostly i thank him rather than asking for something. because he knows what i need.
