I ran into a stranger as he passed
by. “I’m sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too, I wasn’t even
36 for you.” We were very 37
, this stranger and I. Then we went on our 38 after saying goodbye.
But at home, a 39 story is told. How we treat
our loved ones, young and old. Later in the 40 , as I cooked our meal, my daughter
walked up to me, very still. When I returned, I nearly 41 her down. “Get out of the way!” I
shouted with a frown(皱眉).She stepped away silently, with her little
heart 42 . I didn’t realize
how harshly(严厉地)I had spoken.
That night, when I lay 43 in
bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “while meeting with a stranger,
you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are 44 to excite-Go look around on
the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the
flowers she brought for you. She 45 them herself-pink, yellow, and
your favorite 46 . She stood
there quietly, 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 47 by her bed, “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 48 them
in a napkin, just for you. I knew you would like them, 49 the blue.” I said, “I am so sorry that I
50 them today-And I shouldn’t have fussed at
you that way.”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s
okay-I 51 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 company you are working for could easily 52 you in a 53 of days. But the family you leave
behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it,
we 54 ourselves more into
our work than into our families-a(n) 55
investment indeed.
Remember that
