GOD'S BOXES

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 aloud,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be."

He smiled a gentle smile at me."
"My child, they're all here with me."

I asked, "God, why give 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.....
