We were very polite,this stranger and I. We said goodbye and continued our journey. But at home,a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones,young and old? Later that day,while I was cooking the evening meal,my daughter stood beside me very still.

While I lay awake in bed,God's small voice came to me and said, "When dealing with a stranger,common courtesy (礼貌) you use; but the children you love,you seem to abuse. Look on the kitchen floor,and you will find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers your daughter brought for you. She picked them herself,pink,yellow and blue. Your daughter stood quietly not to spoil the surprise,and you never saw the tears in her eyes. " By this time I felt very small,and 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?" My daughter smiled, "I found them,out by the tree. I picked them because they are pretty like you. I knew you would like them,especially the blue."
I said, "Daughter,I am sorry for the way I acted today;I should not have shouted at you that way. " My daughter said, "Oh,Mum,that's okay. I love you anyway."
