Box Of Kisses!!!

The story goes that sometime ago, a man punished his 3-year old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became infuriated when the child tried to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."  He was embarrassed by his earlier over reaction, but his anger flared again when he found the box was empty.

He yelled at her, "Don't you know that when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside it?"

The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Daddy it is not empty. I blew kisses into the box. All for you, daddy."

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and begged for her forgiveness.


It is told that the man kept that gold box by his bed for years and whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.


"In a very real sense, each of us as humans have been given a gold container filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, friends, family and GOD. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold."

"You are my Sunshine"

An inspiring story...


One day, 3-year old Michael wished for a baby sister. So when his mother
got pregnant with a baby girl the little boy was delighted. Everyday, he'd rub his mother's tummy and  sing to his baby sister, "You are my sunshine, You are my sunshine, You make me happy when the stars are grey..."

But when the baby was born, there were complications. The baby was in critical condition.
Little Michael waited at home, wondering why his mother and his baby sister weren't  coming home yet.

A few days later, the doctor told the mother that the baby may not last long. The mother decided to bring Michael to the ICU and see his baby sister before she died.
She knew it was against he ICU rules, but she knew she had to do it. She brought in little Michael and let him stand beside his sister before she died.

That was when the head nurse saw Michael  and shouted, "Children are not allowed here!"

But before they could pull him out of the room, little Michael sang to his baby sister, "You are my sunshine, You are my sunshine, You make me happy when the stars are grey, You know dear how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away... "

Immediately, the baby grew calm. Her heart rate which was abnormally fast, slowed down.

The Head Nurse noticed what was happening and said, "Little boy, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Something is happening to the baby!"

Michael kept singing to his sister. And everyday, she got better.Until she got totally well.
Because little Michael used words of honor to bless his sister.


" Friend, you too can heal others. You have the power of God in your tongue.
Use your words to bless others."
