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 1 watching for you．” We were very polite, this stranger and I．Then we went 2 our way after saying goodbye．
But at 3 , a different story is told．How we treat our loved ones, young and old．Later in the kitchen, as I 4 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still．When I turned, I 5 knocked her down．“Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉)．She stepped away silently, with her little heart 6 ．I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地)I had spoken．
That night, when I lay 7 in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 8 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 9 ．Those are the flowers she brought for you．She 10 them herself－pink, yellow, and your favorite blue．She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 11 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 12 ：“Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree．I 13 them in a napkin, just for you．I knew you'd like them, especially the 14 ．” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today…And I 15 have fussed at you that way．”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay…I still love you 16 ．” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers．”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 17 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days．But the family you leave 18 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives．And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 19 than into our families－an unwise investment(投资)indeed．
Remember that 20 ＝(F)ATHER－(A)ND－(M)OTHER－(I)－(L)OVE－(Y)OU．

I ran into a stranger as he passed by, and I at once apologized to him．We were both very 1 , the stranger and I．Then we went 2 our way after saying good-bye．
But at home a 3 story is told．Later that day, when I 4 supper in the kitchen, my daughter suddenly stood behind me very 5 ．When I turned back, I 6 knocked her down．“Don’t be in my 7 !” I shouted angrily．She walked away with her little heart 8 ．On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door．
That night, while I lay 9 in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While 10 with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily 11 ．Why are there some flowers by the door? Those are the flowers she brought for you．She 12 them herself, pink, yellow and your favorite blue．She stood quietly in order to give you a 13 , and you never saw the 14 in her eyes．”
By this time, I felt very 15 and now my tears began to fall．I quietly went and knelt(跪下)by her 16 , “Wake up, little girl, wake up,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “Yes, because I knew you’d like them, especially the 17 ．” I said, “Daughter, I’m sorry for the way I acted today; I 18 have shouted at you that way．”
She said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay．I love you 19 ．” I hugged her and said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the flowers．”
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 1 watching for you．” We were very polite, this stranger and I．Then we went 2 our way after saying goodbye．

And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay…I still love you 16 ．” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers．”

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 even watching for you．” We were very 1 , this stranger and I．Then we went on our way after 2 goodbye．
But at 3 , a different story is told．How we treat our loved ones, young and old．Later in the kitchen, as I 4 the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still．When I turned, I nearly knocked her down．“Get out of the way!” I 5 with a frown(皱眉)．She stepped away silently, with her little heart 6 ．I didn’t realize how rude I had been．
That night, when I lay 7 in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 8 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite…Go and look around on the 9 floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the door．Those are the flowers she brought for you．She picked 10 up－pink, yellow, and your favorite blue．She stood there quietly and you never saw the tears in her 11 ”．
By this time, I felt sad and my own tears began to fall．I quietly went and knelt(跪)by her 12 ．“Wake up, my sweetheart,” I said．“Are these the flowers you 13 for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I wrapped them in a napkin(纸巾), just for you．I knew you’d like them, especially the 14 ．” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today…And I 15 have shouted at you that way…”
16 , she said in a soft voice, “Mommy, that’s OK…I still love you anyway．” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers．”
Do you know that：if you die tomorrow, the 17 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days．But the family you leave 18 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives．And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 19 than into our families－an unwise investment(投资)indeed．
