I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too… I wasn’t 41 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 42 our way after saying goodbye.
But at 43 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 44 the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 45 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 46 . I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.
That night, when I lay 47 in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 48 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite… Go look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the 49 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 50 them herself — pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the 51 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her 52 . “Wake up, my,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I 53 them in a napkin(纸巾), just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the 54 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today… And I 55 have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way…”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you 56 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 57 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave 58 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 59 than into our families--- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.
