Families
Families are chosen
by our Father above
given to us in this life
to love.

If things don't go well
with friends that we choose.
Our friendship we know
we could always lose.

But do we give our
family the same respect?
I think not, no wonder
they get so upset.

Our families are precious
in life, they're the best part.
So don't do and say things
that upset the cart.

If you've said or done
something that's got them upset.
Tell them you're sorry
put the bad feelings to rest.

If they have upset you
tell them how you feel.
Don't let it grow and
become a big deal.

Remember the Lord chose
them for a reason.
He chose them for life,
not just a season.


And these is another nice stuff ,the arabic translation is present.



Beautiful Flowers

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 good-bye.

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 that night in my 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.
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;
"Please wake up, little one," 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?

(F)ATHER
(A)ND (M)OTHER,
