Touching life story.....

A young man was getting ready to graduate college.
For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's 
showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told 
him that was all he wanted. 

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited 
signs that his father had purchased the car.
Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private 
study.
His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine
son, and told him how much he loved him.
He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. 

Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man 
opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible.
Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you 
give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy 
book. 

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. 
He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his 
father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him.
He had not seen him since that graduation day.
Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had 
passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son.
He needed to come home immediately and take care things. 
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and 
regret filled his heart. 

He began to search his father's important papers and 
saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.
With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.
As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope 
taped behind the Bible. 
It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the 
sports car he had desired.
On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL. 

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not 
packaged as we expected?
