> Two Boxes

> 
> 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...
