F A M I L YI 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 goodbye. 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 family 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."FAMILYAre 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)OUI WAS SENT THIS TODAY & WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE THIS MESSAGE. THE PROBLEM WITH TODAY'S WORLD IS THAT WE IGNORE NOT ONLY THE PEOPLE WE LOVE THE MOST, BUT ALSO GOD. WE ONLY HAVE TIME FOR THEM WHEN WE NEED THEM. I THINK THAT'S NOT ONLY HEARTBREAKING, BUT EXTREMELY SELFISH. THIS IS THE ONE OF THE REASONS I MAKE SURE TO TELL THOSE I LOVE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE WHAT THEY MEAN TO ME & ANOTHER IS WHY I STARTED THIS SITE TO STRENGTHEN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THE RIGHT WORD OR PHRASE TO USE INSTEAD OF SERMON, BECAUSE THAT IS A WORD I EQUATE WITH ORGANIZED RELIGION. MY BROTHER ACTUALLY GAVE ME THE IDEA TO USE: TIPS FOR A BETTER LIFE THROUGH GOD. SO, I BELIEVE I WILL USE THAT INSTEAD OF SERMON. ON WEDNESDAYS I HAVE DETERMINED THAT I WILL POST LIFE EXPERIENCES, WHETHER MY OWN OR IF ANY OF YOU HAVE ONE YOU WANT TO SHARE TO BE POSTED, THEN BY ALL MEANS, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE, ON SUNDAYS I WILL POST TIPS FOR A BETTER LIFE THROUGH GOD, BOTH AS A BLOG AND BULLETIN.I WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO ARE SUPPORTING ME IN THIS. YOU ARE ONE OF THE DRIVING FORCES BEHIND THIS PAGE AND I LOVE YOU ALL.
I HAVE RECIEVED MANY HATEFUL MESSAGES FOR SENDING FRIEND REQUESTS, I WAS REALLY HURT BY THEM UNTIL I GOT A MESSAGE FROM AN EXTRAORDINARY LADY, SHE SAID,"WHEN YOU GET TO HEAVEN, TONYA, THERE WILL BE MANY PEOPLE WAITING THERE TO THANK YOU FOR STARTING THIS PAGE, BECAUSE OTHERWISE THEY MAY NOT HAVE FOUND JESUS AND BEEN SAVED. THEY WILL THANK YOU FOR TURNING THEIR LIVES AROUND. BUT YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY OF THIS WHILE YOU ARE HERE ON EARTH, ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE WALKED THROUGH THE HEAVENLY GATES." SO, THESE WORDS MEANT MORE TO ME THAN SHE'LL EVER KNOW AND ALSO MADE ME MORE DETERMINED TO DO WHAT I CAN, WHAT I AM BEING LED TO DO.TO THOSE OF YOU THAT GET OFFENDED, I'M SORRY, I'M ESPECIALLY SORRY THAT YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME TO ACTUALLY SEE WHAT THIS PAGE IS ABOUT. I AM NOT APOLOGIZING FOR MY BELIEFS OR TRYING TO FIND OTHERS WHO ARE LOST. FOR EVERYONE ELSE, IF I CAN BE OF ANY HELP, SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY OR YOU JUST NEED AN EAR, ALL YOU NEED IS TO MESSAGE ME. ALL MESSAGES WILL BE RETURNED EXCLUSIVELY BY ME AND ME ALONE, NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER SEE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY.PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK CLOSELY AT THESE PICTURES. AS A MOTHER, NOTHING TERRIFIES ME MORE THAN THE POSSIBLITY THAT MY OWN CHILD COULD BE ONE OF THE "LOST/TAKEN". AS A PERSON, IT BREAKS MY HEART THAT ANY CHILD HAS DISAPPEARED. PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY, ADD THIS BANNER TO YOUR OWN SITE, ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO, BE EVER VILIGANT NOT ONLY AS PARENTS BUT AS A CARING PERSON & IF YOU RECOGNIZE ANY OF THESE CHILDREN, NOTIFY YOUR LOCAL AUTHORITIES & CONTACT MISSINGCHILDREN.COM. LET'S SEND A MESSAGE THAT WE WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE THE TAKING/EXPLOITATION OF ANY OF OUR CHILDREN & WE WILL & ARE GOING TO FIGHT BACK!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
