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.
