Is Packaging Important To You?
By: Author Unknown
A young man was getting ready to graduate from 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 beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but
somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and
found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's
name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his
father and said, "With all your money, you give me a
Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed, and the young man was very successful
in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful
family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought
perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since
that graduation day. Before he could make the 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 through 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 was reading, a car
key dropped from the back of 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 blessings because they are not
packaged as we expected?

"If You Could Only Select One - Wealth, Success Love - Which Would You Select"
Wealth, Success and Love
By: Author Unknown
A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with
long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not
recognize them.
Then she said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be
hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."
"Is the man of the house home?" they asked.
"No," she said. "He's out."
"Then we cannot come in," they replied.
In the evening when her husband came home, she told him
what had happened. So he said, "Go tell them I'm home, and
invite them in!"
The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go
into a house together," they replied.
"Why is that?" she wanted to know.
One of the old men explained. "His name is Wealth," he
said pointing to one of his friends, and pointing to
another one he said, "This man is Success, and I am Love."
Then he added, "Now, go and discuss with your husband which
one of us you want in your home."
The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her
husband was over-joyed. "How nice!" he said. "Since that's
the case, let us invite in Wealth. Let him come in and fill
our home with wealth!"
His wife disagreed. "Why don't we invite Success?"
But their daughter was listening from the corner of the
room. She jumped in with her own suggestion. "Wouldn't it
be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with
love!"
The wife agreed. "Then let us heed our daughter's advice,"
said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love in to
be our guest."
The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one
of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got
up and started walking toward the house. Then the other two
also got up and followed him.
Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success, "I only
invited in Love, as you directed. Why are you all coming in?"
The old men replied together, "If you had invited only
Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed.
However, since you invited Love... wherever he goes, we go
with him... To Find out how you can select the right spells in to your life go to:
