Family

F A M I L Y

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 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....'





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

Serious baby, smile!

Babies are our future and our current source of happiness.

Thank you

I may not be saying this everyday, but I want to thank you for all that you do, for all your thought ways, and most importantly…

… for the wonderful person you are!

Motivation for the Day

When I woke up in the morning lying in bed, I was asking myself:

What are some of the secrets of success in life?

I found the answer right there, in my very room.

The Fan said... Be cool.
The Roof said... Aim high
The Window said... See the world
The Clock said... Every minute is precious
The Mirror said... Reflect before you act
The Calendar... Be up-to-date
The Door said... Push hard for your goals

Carry a Heart that Never Hates.
Carry a Smile that Never Fades.
Carry a Touch that Never Hurts.

Children SEE, Children DO

Comments from Youtube users:

"it's true how these innocent souls follow us....and become one of us later for which we only complain about later........"

"Great commercial - I agree with the fact that everyone should set a good example, because no good kid wants to see their mom get beat up, and crap. These kids see and do, because they look up to the people who raised them. But they grow out of that and become independent. They become their own person, and they ARE their own person. So, whatever they see, whatever happens, their choices are their own, in the end."

"This goes for parents and famous people. The future does look up to you, so please make us want to do good. Because I'm 13 and I've realized I take after my parents ALOT. Its just natural, growing up with them.......and my parents aren't the best examples. Same with the famous people. I look up to them also and wanna be like them.. So parents and older people, please watch what you do and say. because you all are raising the future."

Disconnect to Connect - (dtac Thailand TVC)

This commercial video is one of the most meaningful videos ever.

In these days when technology is advanced and mobile phones are so affordable, people tend to put their focus on the talking and messaging (or perhaps, gaming as well) devices.

They have unintentionally neglected the people surrounding them.

Is this technology good or bad?

Apart from mobile phone, I personally think the internet has the same impact on everyone as well. Have you realised that sometimes you have resorted to using chat messenger to convey messages to your siblings as well, when they are just a few steps away in the other room?

What have gone wrong?

The ease to communication has somehow distant communication.

Disconnect to connect - this means to put down your mobile phone in order to communicate better with the one besides you. The person besides you probably needs more attention.
