A Graduation Present

This story is about a young man who was getting ready to graduate from college & his graduation present from his DAD. For many years he had admired a beautiful sports car & knowing his father could well afford it. So he told his father that was all he wanted for his graduation present. As the 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 great son & told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curios, but somewhat disappointed when the young man opened the box an found a leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angry, he raised his voice to his father and said "With all your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house & left the Bible of coarse. Many years passed & the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home & wonderful family, but realized his father was very old & thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make an arrangement, he received a called telling him that his father had passed away & willed all his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately & take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness & regret filled his heart. HE began to search through his father's important papers & saw the still new Bible on the table just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the page. And as he did, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation day & the words PAID IN FULL.
