Inspirational and Heart Touching Story Family.

Inspirational and Heart Touching Story " Family " .  

 

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 saying good-bye.   But

at home a difference 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. As 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 children 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,

and 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. "

  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 to 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! A

young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood

street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for

kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he

thought he saw something.   As

his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the

Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the

spot from where the brick had been thrown.

 

 

  He

jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up

against a parked car shouting, " What was that all about and who are

you? Just what the heck are you doing?! " Building up a head of steam he

went on. That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a

lot of money. Why did you do it? "

 

 

  " Please,

mister, please. I'm sorry, I didn't know what else to do, " pleaded the

youngster. " I threw the brick because no one else would stop... " Tears

were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the parked car.   " It's

my brother, " he said. " He rolled off the curb and fell out of his

wheelchair and I can't lift him up. " Sobbing, the boy asked the

executive, " Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?

He's hurt and

he's too heavy for me. "

 

 

 

 

  Moved

beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in

his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took

out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see

that everything was going to be okay. " Thank you and may God bless

you, " the grateful child said to him.

 

 

  The

man then watched the little boy push his brother down the sidewalk

toward their home. It was a long walk back to his jaguar....a long,

slow walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to

remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a

brick at you to get your attention.

 

 

 

 

Lessons from the Mail:   " God

whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes when you

don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you. It's your

choice: Listen to the whisper - or wait for the brick. "

 

Close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realize

 

 

 

that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones. "

  Remember this always in life.

Dear Hassan Bhaijaan,

 

I have heard this story in my astrological practice in many

variations. When their tears stopped flowing, I ask them, " Do you

know the biggest difference between your loved ones and strangers? "

 

The former generally stick around and give you a chance to amend your

first reaction born out of " familiarity " and taking near and dear

ones for granted!

 

Heart-warming and touching as your story is, the real question is:

Did you after the first impulsive and reflexive action (also born out

of concern) did you take the time to show and explain to your son

what motivated you and expressed your affection?

 

Instead of lying in bed alone and weeping waiting for God to knock

the sense in your head, you could have walked over to your son and

hugged him and fixed the misunderstanding so easily!

 

I think we summon God too often for things that He gave us power and

means to fix! God is more worried about large groups of His children

who insist upon fighting with their brothers and neighbours,

presumably out of a misunderstanding (of God!)

Such a touching story, yet so true! Guess we take away 80% (or 70%??) of our

masks with people whom we consider close to heart. That's why the real us gets

out. With strangers we need to be polite, else our life will be complicated. But

our near and dear cannot make our life complicated (in most cases) even if we

are uncourteous to them.

 

If only we show the same uncourteousness to strangers who deserve it, then

guess, world would ve been atleast somewhat better, with people realizing their

limits and maintaining thier boundaries.
