F-A-M-I-L-Y
I bumped into a
stranger as he passed by, “Oh, excuse me please”, was my reply. He said, “Please
excuse me too; “Wasn’t even watching for you.” We were polite, this stranger
and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye.
But at home is
different. How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day,
cooking the evening meal, My daughter stood beside me,
very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked her down. “Move out of the way,” I said
with a frown. She walked away, her little heart was broken. I didn’t realize how
harshly I’d spoken.
While I lay awake
in bed. 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. Look on the
kitchen floor. You’ll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the
flowers she brought for you. She picked them herself pink, yellow and blue. She
stood quietly, no to spoil the surprise, and you never saw the tears in her
eyes.”
By this time, I
felt very small, and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by
her bed;”Wake up, little girl, wake up,” I said. “Are these the flowers you
picked for me?” She 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 “Daughter,
I’m sorry for the way I acted today, I shouldn’t have yelled at you that way.” She
said, “Oh Mom, that’s okay. I love you anyway.” She said “Oh, Mom, that’s okay.
I love you anyway.” I said, “Daughter, I love you too, and I do like the
flowers, especially the blue.”
The next time you think of the word, FAMILY, remember
what it stands for: (F)ather (A)nd (M)other, (I) (L)ove (Y)ou.
