A Box Full of Christmas Kisses

Author Unknown - Adapted

A man punished his three-year-old daughter for wasting

a roll of gold wrapping paper.  Money was tight and he

became infuriated when the tiny child tried to decorate

a box to put under the Christmas tree.

Nevertheless, the little girl brought a gift to her father on

Christmas morning and said, "This is for you, Daddy."

He was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, but his anger

flared again when he found the box was empty.  He yelled,

"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

sobbed, "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 he begged for her forgiveness.  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 Garden many years ago the Creator fashioned a container

of clay into a package so He could place the gift of life in it.

He then kissed the package and it opened its eyes to look into

his Fathers eyes.

       "And the Lord God formed man of the

       dust of the ground, and breathed into his

       nostrils(*) the breath of life; and man

       became a living soul."  (* Nostrils is

       translated from a  Hebrew word signifying

       the mouth and nose) Gen 2:7

The clay package saw the Creator and must have marveled at His

glory.  When he looked into the eyes of his Creator he would

have seen the a reflection of the package, and marveled at its

beauty for it had been created in the image of the Creator.

The Son, many years later, in another garden, returned the kiss

from a package that He had created.  Did the betrayer look

into the eyes of his Creator and see the reflection of an image

of Satan?

Judas's unholy kiss identified Jesus as the Messiah, the Lamb

of God, who willingly came and gave His life so we might

live.

       "Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye

       perish from the way, when His wrath is

       kindled but a little.  Blessed are all they

       that put their trust in Him.'  (Psalm 2:12)

Jesus and His Fathers kisses are always available to those

that love and obey Them.

In a very real sense, each of us are a container filled with

unconditional love and kisses for our children, friends, family,

and God.  There is no more precious gift anyone can give

then a kiss.

This Christmas greet one another with a holy kiss.  You were

created to be a box full of kisses.  Each kiss you give will be

the most precious of gifts to the receivers.
