A rich man and his Son 

A rich man's son was graduating college.

For months, the son was asking his father for a new car, knowing that his father had more than enough
money.

When graduation day came, the young man's father called him into the study. The father handed him a
wrapped gift and congratulated him about his graduation and his achievement.

Looking disappointed, the son opened the gift to find a lovely, leather bound journal, with the young
man's name written on the cover. He angrily raised his voice, threw down the journal and stormed out.
The young man had not seen his father since graduation day. He became successful and was wealthy like
his father, with a beautiful home and family. He came to realize his father was aging and it may be time to
put the past behind them.

Just then, he received a message that his father had passed, and he had to return home to take care of the
estate.

As the mourning son regretfully returned home, he began searching through his father's important papers
and saw that still new journal, just as he had left it.
He opened it, and as he flipped through the pages a car key dropped from the back of the journal.

A dealer tag was attached to the key that read "Paid in full. Wherever this car takes you, write about it to
remember it forever. Love, Dad"

Moral of the Story

No matter what you expect, be grateful for what you are given. It may be more of a blessing than you
think.
