A touching 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 , Holy book "Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta".
Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your
money
you give me a "Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta" ?" and stormed out of the house,
leaving the holy book. He never contacted his father again for a long
time.


Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He
had
a beautiful home and a 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 of 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 "Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta", just as he had left it years ago.

With tears, he opened the "Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta" and began to turn the
pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped
behind the "Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta".

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?
