A young man was about to graduate from college. He fantasized a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom and willed strongly to posses it, 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 eve of his graduation day, his father called him into his private study room. He told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound religious book, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angry and frustrated, he raised his voice to his father and said "With all your money and the love and pride you talk about you have for me, you give me a religious book?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the religious book.
Many years passed and the young man never returned back to his father since that graduation day. The young man became a very successful businessman and was busy chasing sucess. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but he realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. 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 and that he was needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Religious Book, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Religious Book and began to turn the pages. And as he did, a car key dropped from the back of the Religious Book. 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 and answers to our prayers because they do not arrive exactly as we have expected?
Resolve: "Today I look beyond the obvious and allow miracles to be created in my life."
I will never say anything bad to me parents and obey all their orders.
