The Lost Blessing
Once upon a time, there was a young man who was about to graduate from college.
The young man desperately wanted a luxurious sports car in the exhibition room.
And he knew that his rich father absolutely could afford this car, and then he told his father that he wanted that excellent car.
As Graduation Day was approaching, he excitedly waited for the car.
Finally, the day was coming.
His father asked him to go to his study room.
At first, his father told him that he was very proud of him and he deeply loved him.
And then he gave his son an exquisite box.
The young man was very surprised, and he opened the box with somewhat disappointment.
It turned out to be a fine Bible, whose cover was embossed the name of his son.
However, the young man was broken-hearted.
He angrily shouted to his father and asked why he only gave him a Bible, but he did not want the answer.
And then he threw the Bible on the desk and rushed out of the room.
Many years later, the young man turned to be a middle-aged man.
He had successful business, a beautiful house and a lovely family.
When he realized his father was very old, he considered that he should go to visit him.
He had never seen his father since the day he graduated from college.
Before his journey, he received a telegraph, which said that his father had passed away and he handed over all his possessions to his son.
So he immediately came home to deal with all those things.
When he walked into his father's house, his heart was filled with sadness and regret.
When he cleared up his father's important documents, he suddenly found that Bible.
It was kept very well, for it was as new as many years ago.
He opened this Bible again and began to read it in tears.
As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible.
It was his desired sports car's key.
Its tag had the words 'PAID IN FULL' and the date was his Graduation Day.
He had missed his gift, because his key was not packaged as he expected.
Fortunately, he finally found his lost blessing.
