You don't love someone because they're
beautiful. They're beautiful because you
love them.
Its true you don't know what you've got
until its gone, but its also true you
don't know what you've been missing until
it arrives!!!
I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
Oh excuse me please" was my reply.
He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."
We were very polite, this stranger and
I.
We went on our way and we 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,
My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him
down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a
frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and
said,
While dealing with a stranger, common
courtesy you use,
But the children you love, you seem to
abuse.
Go and 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,
You never saw the tears that filled his
little eyes."
By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
Wake up, little one, wake up," I 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."
I 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."
I said, "Son, I love you too, and I do
like the flowers,
especially the blue."
FAMILY
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
into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?
Do you know what the word
FAMILY means? FAMILY =
F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I)
(L)OVE (Y)OU
Pass this message to 7
people except you and me.
You will receive a miracle
tomorrow.
Don't ignore and God will
bless you.
