Diamond Ring

Hope you will enjoy and be blessed with this story.

A married lady was expecting a birthday gift from her husband. For
many months she had admired a beautiful diamond ring in a showroom,
and knowing her husband could afford it, she told him that was all
she wanted. As her birthday approached, this lady awaited signs that
her husband had purchased the diamond ring.

Finally, on the morning of her birthday, her husband called her into
his study room. Her husband told her how proud he was to have such a
good wife, and told her how much he loved her. He handed her a
beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, the wife opened the box and
found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the wife's name embossed in
gold. Angrily, she raised her voice to her husband and said, "With
all your money you give me a Bible? and stormed out of the house,
leaving her husband.

Many years passed and the married lady was very successful in
business.
She managed to settle for a more beautiful house and a wonderful
family, but realized her ex-husband was very old, and thought perhaps
she should go to visit him. She had not seen him for many years. But
before she could make arrangements, she received a telegram telling
her that her ex-husband had passed away, and willed all of his
possessions to her. She needed to come back immediately and take care
of things.

When she arrived at her ex-husband's house, sudden sadness and regret
filled her heart. She began to search through her ex-husband's
important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as she had left it
years ago.

With tears, she opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. Her
ex-husband had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11, "And if you,
being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much
more shall your Heavenly Father which is in heaven, give to those who
ask Him?" As she read those words, a tiny package dropped from the
back of the Bible. It had a diamond ring with her name engraved on
it, the same diamond ring which she saw at the showroom. On the tag
was the date of her birth, and the words...'LUV U ALWAYS'...

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not
packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass it on to
others.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that
what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for...

IF YOUR GIFT IS NOT PACKED THE WAY YOU WANT IT, IT'S BECAUSE IT IS BETTER
PACKED THAT WAY! ALWAYS APPRECIATE LITTLE THINGS; THEY USUALLY LEAD YOU TO
ATTACHMENTS. .
