I would like share the story of a woman.

* * * * *

This woman ran into a stranger as he passed by. 'Oh excuse me please' was her reply. He said, 'Please excuse me too; I wasn't watching for you'. They were very polite, this stranger and she. They went on their way and they 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, her son stood beside her very still. When she turned, she nearly knocked him down. 'Move out of the way,'she said with a frown. He walked away, his little heart broken. she didn't realize how harshly she spoken. While she lay awake in bed, God's still small voice came to her and said, 'While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the children you love, you seem to abuse. Go 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, and you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.' By this time, the woman felt very small, and now her tears began to fall. She quietly went and knelt by his bed; 'Wake up, little one, wake up,'she 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.' She 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.' The woman said,'Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.'

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 to our own family - an unwise investment indeed, don't you think? Do you know what the word FAMILY means? FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I), (L)OVE, (Y)OU.
