I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I am so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said,“ Excuse me too… I wasn’t even watching for you.” We were very , this stranger and I. Then we went on our ways after saying goodbye.
But at home, a story is told. Later, in the , as I cooked our meal, my daughter crept up to me, very still. When I turned, I nearly her down. “Get out of the way!” I with a frown(皱眉). She left, her little heart broken.
That night, as I awake in bed, God’s quiet spoke to me and said, “While
with a stranger, you are and polite, but with those you love, you are quick and excited… Go look right now on the kitchen floor, you will find some there by the door. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She picked them herself- pink, yellow, and blue. She stood there quietly, not to your surprise, and you never saw the tears in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her bed,“Wake up, sweetheart, wake up,” I said,“Are these the flowers you picked for me? She smiled, “I found them, out by the tree. I wrapped them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you would like them. the blue.” I said,” I am so sorry that I missed them today… And I shouldn’t have fussed at you that way.”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that is okay… I still love you .” I hugged her and said, “ I love you too… And I love my flowers, especially the blue.”
Are you that: If you die tomorrow, the that you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we ourselves more to our work than into our families- an unwise indeed.
