Love is a Two-way Street

      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。
