LOVE ACROSTICS

L ove is the best of God for Man, where justice, faith and mercy stand;
Of need was sent from far above, for faith was mingled with His blood;
V isiting children with one call, an offer of mercy to us all
Entirely without fee.

God's Boxes of Love

I have in my hands two boxes
Which God gave me to hold
He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black,
And all your joys in the gold." I heeded His words, and in the two boxes
Both my joys and sorrows I store
But though the gold became heavier each day
The black was as light as before
With curiosity, I opened the black
I wanted to find out why
And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole
Which my sorrows had fallen out by
I showed the hole to God, and mused aloud,
"I wonder where my sorrows could be."
He smiled a gentle smile at me.
"My child, they're all here with me."
I asked, "God, why give me the boxes,
Why the gold, and the black with the hole?"
"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,
the black is for you to let go."
We should consider all of our friends a blessing.
Send this to a friend today just to let them know
that you are thinking of them,
and that they are a joy in your life to hold.
