There was a young entrepreneur who that morning rush leaving office because he overslept. While that morning he was meeting with his business associates. In his haste, he did not get to eat breakfast made by his wife. He then decided to stop into a store to buy bread instead of breakfast. He thought, "Later this bread eaten in the office alone."
When he was selecting who want to buy bread, his interest in a child aged about ten years of being pick flowers in the shop next door. This little fellow was seen haggling with the clerk of interest rates are.
"Ma'am, how much interest rates?" He asked the clerk.
"Five dollars," replied the waitress.
Then he chose another flower and asked again,
"If interest is how much?".
"It's more expensive, fifteen dollars!" Replied the waitress.
"If that is how much?" He asked, showing interest even better.
"It cost twenty-five, son!" Replied the waitress.
This child looked puzzled as increasing interest rates high, while he did not realize that the flowers which he was nominated best interest.
Sadly he asked, "Are there any flowers that cost a half dollars?"
This kid was just having money and a half dollars despite his desire to get the flowers are very large. Have not had the clerk answered, the young entrepreneur was soon asked his son, "Son, you want to buy flowers for whom?"
Then the boy answered, "I want to buy flowers for mom, because mom's birthday today!" These young entrepreneurs snapped up, in his heart he said, "oh god, I forgot! Today is my wife's birthday. I do not say happy birthday to him. If I forget, he can be angry! "Immediately he said to the clerk," Ma'am, I bought these flowers. I bought two ikat. Only for this child. Please later among these flowers to my home address, "he said as he gave her his card. Then the young entrepreneurs that give the flowers to the child and say thank you for reminding him that today was also his wife's birthday. The boy then went.
This entrepreneur rushed to his car and proceeded to the office. When he was driving, he passed the little boy is running. And he stopped and asked if he was one-way with her. The little boy said yes and then get into his car.
Until somewhere a bit quiet this child asked for down. Young entrepreneurs are surprised to see this little boy go through a small hallway. Curious, he followed the boy from behind. How shocked she was when I saw this little boy put the flowers on a mound of yellow that is still wet.
Then he asked, "Son, this cemetery who?"
The little boy then replied, "Uncle, my mother's birthday today. But unfortunately, my mother had just died two days ago. Therefore I came to this place to bring flowers and congratulate mommy's birthday. "
Young entrepreneurs are so struck by the words of this child.
"Is my wife is still alive today?" She wondered.
Immediately he ran into the car, driving at high speed and headed into the store. With panting she said to the clerk, "Where flowers did I buy? The flowers do not have to be sent, let me just who immediately gave it to my wife's hand. "
He quickly grabbed the interest and drive home. Back home, he immediately ran to his wife. "Praise the Lord! My wife is still alive! "While giving the flowers she said," My wife, a happy birthday. " Then he kissed and hugged his wife tightly as he gave thanks to God. Weeping, she said, "Thank you, Lord. You still give me a second chance. "
Many of us are too busy with everyday activities. Activities and routines were already 'killed' attention and the important moments to be enjoyed with the people we love; parents, husbands, wives, children, and our brothers.
For the sake of pursuing a career, money and position the service even more people forget about the family. A businessman was just thinking that satisfy the material needs of his wife and children had made him feel like a good father. A servant of God thought that with a busy in service and is known everywhere have made him feel like a righteous man in the family. We are not aware, we are wrong to think so.
Today, if we are given the opportunity to live all a gift Allh. Therefore, do not wait until tomorrow to show our love and affection to those around us, especially those closest to us. Do not wait until we realized they were gone. Do not wait until tomorrow! Because we do not know what will happen to tomorrow. If we still lived in today means that this second chance for us. Take the second chance that God gives to us today.
