The Perfect Gift

One day I received this amazing gift and it had very simple wrapping with just paper and a bow.So I thought to myself,it's not my birthday or Christmas. So I was very excited, but at the same time very cautious to open this gift. So I gathered up enough courage, and I finally opened it. So after tearing the gift open, I started digging and digging and I didn't see a gift. So you could only imagine my frustration. I had just received this gift,only to discover there isn't any gift. I thought to myself "this sucks." So I decided to throw out this gift because it was just an empty box. So as I was getting ready to throw this box away,a card fell out of the box. I picked up the card, dusted the dirt off. So when I read the card it said,"you're forgiven"Love always , Jesus Christ. I thought to myself," wow, now that's a gift. "So on that day I learned a very important lesson. And that is, never judge a book, or a present by its cover.Remember, it's the thought that counts.
