FORGET THE PILLOW!

A young man took his girlfriend out for dinner and when they sat down, he laid

an elaborate box on the table for her birthday. All the while they were eating dinner

she just kept thinking about the box and it was big and she wanted to know what was

inside. All she could think about was what was in the box.

Finally dinner was over. “Can I open the box now?”

“Yeah, you can open the box.”

She opened the box and pulled out a pillow. “Oh, wow, I mean, this is a nice

pillow ... but it’s a pillow,” she said dejectedly. She even turned the pillow over

thinking something might be taped underneath, but there was nothing.

“Well, thank you,” she said with obvious disappointment.

Her boyfriend then got up from the table, took the pillow from her and laid it

on the floor. He got down on one knee, took her by the hand and said, “Will you

marry me?”

She forgot about the pillow. The one who gave her the pillow now became a

lot more important.

Never take your blessings for granted. Never forget the One who gave them

to you (Ps. 103:2)!
