TOUCHING LIFE STORY!! PAID IN FULL!!


A young man was getting ready for graduate college. For
many months he had admired a
beautiful sports car in a dealer's
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. His father told him how proud
he was to have such a fine
son, and told him how much he loved
him. He handed his son
a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, but somewhat disappointed
the young man
opened the box and found a lovely,
leather-bound Bible. Angrily,
he raised his voice at his father and
said, "With all your money you
give me a Bible?" and stormed out of
the house, leaving the holy
book.
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, and thought
perhaps he should go to him. He
had not seen him since that
graduation day. Before he could make
arrangements, he received a telegram
telling him his father had
passed away, and willed all of his
possessions to his son. He
needed to come home immediately
and take care things.
When he arrived at his father's house,
sudden sadness and
regret filled his heart.
He began to search his father's
important papers and
saw the still new Bible, just as he had
left it years ago. With
tears, he opened the Bible and began
to turn the pages. As he
read those words, a car key dropped
from an envelope
taped behind the Bible.
It had a tag with the dealer's 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.


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