Mothers Day Message: Give Value To Relationships

Submitted by Pravs J on Wednesday, 29 April 200923 Comments

Give Value To Relationships

A man stopped at a flower shop for ordering some flowers to be sent as a gift to his mother who lived two hundred miles away. 

As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.” 

The man smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.” He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers. 

As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.” She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.

The man returned to the flower shop, cancelled the gifting order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.

At times we take many such relationships with our family and friends for granted. Learn to value them.

    We do not express our feelings often and realise it when at times it is too late.

    So express yourself before it is too late.

    Most of the times we take relationship for granted. We find it hard to say we value, love and treasure friends and families. Give the best when friends and families are around. When they are gone it will be too late.

    really touching

    there is a saying…

    if you want to make your father happy, LISTEN

    and

    if you want to make your mother happy . TALK and express your love and feelings for her everyday,since you can replace anyone in your life but not your mother. Blessings of your mother are your most valuable assets in life/

    God made mothers smile out of sunshine
    And he molded her heart out of gold
    In her eyes he placed bright shining stars
    In her cheek, roses, you see….
    God made a wonderful mother
    And he gave that dear mother to me
    Thanks mom, luv ya lots like jelly tots
    I just want to say that my mom is the best, luv u
