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 each day
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 be."
He smiled a gentle smile and said,
"My child, they're all here with me."
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."

Thank You that blessed me.

When my son was two years old my husband and I gave him a wagon. He would wear himself out pulling his wagon. When he became tired, I would reach my arms out to pick him up and comfort his cry, but he would not let go of the wagon. I wasn't picking up him and the wagon. As much as I wanted to comfort him, he had to let go of his precious wagon before I could lift him up.
Thank you. This encouragement brought the memory back of how God uses
my son to teach me about letting go so HE can lift me.
