I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I'm so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “Excuse me too... I wasn't  21  watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went   22   our way after saying goodbye.

    But at  23 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I  24  our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I  25  knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart  26 . I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地) I had spoken.

That night, when I lay  27   in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While  28  with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love,you are QUICK to excite... Go look around on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the  29 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She  30  them herself-- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the  31  in her eyes.”

    By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her  32 : “Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I  33 them in a napkin（餐巾）, just for you. I knew you'd like them, especially the  34 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today... And I  35  have shouted at you that way.”

    And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay... I still love you 36 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”

    Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the  37  you are working for could easily replace you in a few days. But the family you leave _38  will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our  39  than into our families--an unwise investment(投资) indeed.
