God's Boxes

God's Boxes (I hope I get this back)
Please Keep it going. This has been going since
Dec. 1, 2000
.......please send it on. 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 box 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...
Ok, here goes, instantly when you receive his letter, you should
send it to at least 10 people to brighten their day, including
the person who sent it to you.
