God gave me two boxes. He said, “Put all your sorrows in the black box and all your joys in the gold box.” I heeded His words and in the two boxes, both my joys and sorrows I stored. The gold box became heavier each day and the black box was as light as before. With curiosity, I opened the black box as I wanted to find out why. I saw in the base of the black 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 are all here with me.” I asked God why He gave me the two boxes. Why the gold box and the black box with the hole? He replied “My child, the gold box is for you to count your blessings and the black box is for you to let go.”
