The story goes that some time ago a mother punished her five-year-old daughter for wasting a roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.
Money was tight and she became even more upset when the child used the
gold paper to decorate a box to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift box to her mother the next morning and said, "This is for you, Momma."
The mother was embarrassed by her earlier over-reaction, but her anger flared again when she opened the box and found it was empty.
She spoke to her daughter in a harsh manner. "Don't you know, young lady,
when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the
package?"
She had tears in her eyes and said, "Oh, Momma, it's not empty! I blew kisses into it until it was full."
The mother was crushed. She fell on her knees and put her arms around her little girl, and she begged her forgiveness for her thoughtless anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later, and it is told that the mother kept that gold box by her bed all the years of her life. Whenever she was discouraged or faced difficult
problems she would open the box and take out an
imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us, as human beings, have been given a golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and GOD. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
Doc, remember, you have a family at home that misses and loves you very much. Take care of yourself and return to them. In the meantime, find a small empty box and put it by your bed as a reminder.

If you are giving praise to God Doc, there ain't no way you can be down.
The scriptures say that God "inhabits the praises of His people";
so if you want God to show up;
your attitude to change from bad to good;
to go from down to up;
and just feel a whole lot better about everything;
just start praising God.
Your whole outlook will change from worse to better.
