A man punished his three year old daughter for wasting a roll of wrapping paper. Money was tight. She decorated a box to put under the tree. The next day she gave the gift to him. He was embarrassed by his earlier over reaction. But, his anger flared when he opened the box and it was empty. “Don’t you know when you give someone a present, you’re supposed to put something inside it?” he yelled. In tears she looked at him and said, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty. I blew kisses in the box. I filled it with my love. All for you, Daddy.” He was crushed and begged for forgiveness. He kept that box near his bed. Whenever he was discouraged, he’d take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of his daughter who put it there. (Proverbs 4:7; 1 Corinthians 13:8)
