GRADUATION DAY!
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,
told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him.
He handed him a beautifully wrapped gift box.
Curious, but
somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely,
leather-bound Bible, with his name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his
voice to his father and said,"With all your money you give me a Bible?" He
stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible behind.
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. He 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 him. He needed to
come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived
at his father's house, sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search
through his father's important documents and saw the Bible, new,just as he had
left it years ago. With 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.

many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we
