A Car Key

A young man was getting ready to graduate from his colloge.For many months he desired a sport car in a famous dealer's showroom.He knew his rich father could well afford it,so he told her dad that was he want.

As the Graduation Day approached,he awaited the news that his father  purchased his dream car.Finally on the morning of his graduation,his father called him to his private study and told him that he was proud of having a good son and he pretty loved him.Then the father gave him a beautiful wrapped gift box.The young man was curious firstly but quite disappointted when he opened the gift box and found a exquisite Bible with his name embossed in gold.Angrily,he raised his voice to his father and said"With all your money,you just give me a Bible!?"Then he stormed out of the house,leaving the Bible.

Many years passed,the young man has his own successful business.He had a beautiful house and a wonderful family.Realising his father was very old,Perhaps he should go and see him.He had been not seen his Dad since the Graduation Day.Before he made his arrangement ,he receive a telegram.It said his father had died and willed all his poccessions to his son.The young man need to go home immediately and dealed with his father's things.

The young man's heart was filled with sadness and regret in his father's house.He started to search dad's some important decoments and saw the still new Bible,just like years ago.With tears,he opened it and turned the pages.When he was reading,a car key dropped from the back of the Bible.The key had a tag with a dealer's name,the same as the dealer who had his dream car.On the tag was the date of his graduation and the words"Paid In Full!"

How many time did we miss the blessings just because they were not packaged as our expected!Do not spoil what we have by desire what we have not!Remeber that what you have now are once among the things you only hope for!

Sometimes we do not realise that the good fortune we have or wo could have just because we expect the appearance to be different.What appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is waitting for be opened!
