> >> FATHER, I WANTED A CAR, NOT A BIBLE
> >> A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many
> >> months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealers 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, told him
> >> how proud he was to have such a fine son, and how much he loved him.
> >> He handed him a beautifully wrapped gift box.
> >> Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and
> >> found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with his name embossed
> >> in gold.
> >> Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said,"With all your
> >> money you give me a Bible?" He stormed out of the house, leaving the
> >> Bible behind.
> >> 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. He thought perhaps he should go to him.He had
> >> not seen him since that graduation day.
> >> But before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram
> >> telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his
> >> possessions to
> >> him. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
> >> When he arrived at his father's house, sadness and regret filled his
> >> heart. He began to search through his father's important documents
> >> and saw the Bible, new,just as he had left it years ago.
> >> With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. His
> >> father had
> >> carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11,
> >> "And if ye, being evil, know
> >> how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your
> >> Heavenly Father which is in Heaven, give to those who ask Him?"
> >> As he read those words, a car key dropped from the back of the
> >> Bible.It had a tag with the dealers 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.
