Having a bad day? Put your sorrows in the black box....

[wovenwonder]

God's Boxes

I have in my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,
And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes
Both my joys and sorrows I stored
But though the gold became heavier
The black was as light as before.

With curiosity, I opened the black
I wanted to find out why
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole
Which my sorrows had fallen out by

I showed the hole to God and mused
I wonder where my sorrows could all be
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me."

I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,
Why the gold and the black with the hole,
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
The black is for you to let go."

Kelsie, this is all your fault you know, I didn't see this yesterday and it's all because WISH is so popular now that I can't keep up

I loved this, Jody. I put all my problems in that box for today. I'll probably be back again tomorrow with more
