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 1watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 2our 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 4the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 5knocked 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 rudely I had spoken.
That night, when I lay 7in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 8with 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 10them herself — pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the 11in her eyes.”

I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her 12. “Wake up, my 七彩教育网,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I 13them 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 15have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way…”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s OK… 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 17you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave 18will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 19than into our families--- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.
