A father sat at his desk poring over his monthly bills when his young son rushed in and announced, "Dad,because this is your birthday and you're fifty years old , I'm going to give you fifty kisses , one for each year ." When the boy started making good on his word , the father exclaimed , " Oh,Andrew, don't do it now; I'm too busy!"
The youngster immediately fell silent as tears welled up in his big blue eyes. Apologically the father said," You can finish later. "
The boy said nothing but quietly walked away , disappointment written over his face. That evening the father said,"Come and finish the kisses now , Andrew!" But the boy didn't respond.
Unfortunately, a few days later after this incident , the boy had an accident and was drowned . His heartbroken father wrote-
"If only I could tell him how much I regret my thoughtless words ,and could be assured that he knows how much my heart is a aching."
Love is a Two-way street. Any loving act must be warmly accepted or it will be taken as rejection and can leave a scar . If we are too busy to give and receive love , we are too busy ! Nothing is more important than responding with love to the cry for love from those who are near and precious to us . Because there may be no chance at all as in the case of the little .
父亲坐在书桌边仔细查对月账单,他的小儿子冲进来,大声说:"爸爸,今天是你的生日,55岁生日,我要给你55个吻,一年一个!"当男孩准备兑现诺言时,他的父亲大声说道:"哦,安德鲁,现在不行,我很忙!"
小家伙立刻噤若寒蝉,蓝色色大眼睛泪如泉涌。父亲只好满怀歉意的说:"待会再来亲我吧。"
男孩安静的走开了,脸上写满了失望。那天晚上,父亲说:来吧,安德鲁,现在可以了!"但是男孩没有回应。
很不幸,这件事过后没几天,男孩因为意外溺水身亡。他那伤心的父亲写到:
"如果我能让他知道,那些不假思索的话令我多懊悔,他一定就能知道我心里有多痛苦。"
爱是一条双行道。爱需要热烈的接纳,不然对方会以为你在拒绝,从而留下疤痕。要是我们忙的连给予和接纳爱的时间都没有,那真是说不过去了!对我们身边那些亲近和珍贵的人,用爱去回应他们爱的呼唤,这才是最重要的。遇到小男孩类似的情况,真是追悔莫及啊。
