I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said good-bye.
But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
Move out of the way," I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,
"While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy
you use, but the family you love, you seem to
abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."
By this time, I felt very small, And now my tears
began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed; "Wake up, little
one, wake up," I said.
"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.
I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."
I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted
today; I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay. I love you
anyway."
I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do like the
flowers, especially the blue."
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the
company that we are working for could easily
replace us in a matter of days. But the family we
left behind will feel the loss for the rest of
their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family, an unwise
investment indeed, don't you think?
So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I)
(L)OVE (Y)OU
Don't wish it was easier, wish you were better.
Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills.
Don't wish for less challenges, wish for more
wisdom.
