Life's Surprise Packages!

Many a time in life, Life gives us something that is totally unexpected. A wise man still sees it as a good gift, while the majority of us curse Life for always throwing at us things and situations we never ever wanted. This is a story, a very beautiful story that clearly portrays Life's ways...

There was once a rich young boy who loved an old classical and expensive car( I forgot the name of the car). He hoped that he would one day get it. Years rolled by and he was a young man graduating from school. His dad asked him what he wanted as a graduation gift and without an second's pause, named it- the car that he had always wanted. On the morning of his graduation he went up to his dad with lots of expectations about the car. His dad gave him a small box. He curiously opened it.  But to his diappointment saw a bible inside it. Without even touching it, he closed it and yelled at his dad. He said, that his dad had all the money in this world but could not get him something he had longed for all his life. Saying that he walked off that home and on his dad. He made a life of his own and never met his father again. Many years later he received a telegram stating that his father had expired and has willed all his wealth to his son. Suddenly he felt a pain deep inside him. He started feeling remorseful for his behaviour. He visited the home where he last saw his dad. When he walked to his dad's study he noticed that the gift he refused to accept, was still lying safetly inside a glass case. He opened the box  and this time took the bible out and out fell a key for a brand new car that he had always wanted with a key chain note  saying... 'Happy Graduation Son!'.

 I very much believe that Life always gives us what we want , but fortunately or unfortunately, does not pack it the way we expect. Only a man with patiance and acceptance can discover the true gifts hidden inside strange boxes, all wrapped very carefully by our Life.
