70、dealer who had the sports_car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his_graduation,_and the words “PAID IN FULL”. How great the love a father gave to his son! But it was too late for him to feel that packaged love from his_father. Paragraph 2：How many times do we miss blessings because they are
71、 not packaged as we expected? Do not regret until you realize what you did is wrong. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not, but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we dont realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect “the packaging” to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.
