Subject: Touching story for professionals

This was originally shared to me by my officemate through our internal email system. The moment I reas this, I was greatly touched by this simple story yet very meaningful. I Hope you will enjoy reading this inspirational story just as I did. And one more thing, I believe this story fits for those who are working for their family that seem like lacking time for their family to spend with.


Subject: Touching story for professionals
A small touching story mainly for professionals...

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old
son waiting for him at the door.
SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?">>>
DAD: "Yeah sure, what it is?" replied the man.
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a
thing?" the man
said angrily.
SON: "I just want to know.. Please tell me, how much do you make an
hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."

SON: "Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $10.00 ?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can
borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march
yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being
so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behaviour."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's
questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that
$10.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to
the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.

"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier" said
the man.
"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's
the
$10.00 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He
yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The
man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The
little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.
"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father
grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy
replied.

"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?

Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he
begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should
not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with
those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
Do remember to share that $20.00 worth of your time with someone you
love.


If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily
replace us in a matter of days.

But the family & friends we leave 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
family.

Believe it and you shall be blessed.
The problem with many of us is that we don't believe that God will open a
Window and pour out blessings that we won't have room to receive them. I
Dare anyone to try God. He is true to His word. God cannot lie and His
Promises are sure.

Three things will happen to you this coming week:
1) You will find favour with someone you don't expect;
2) You will be too relevant to be ignored;
3) You will encounter God and you will never remain the same again.

My prayer for you today:
The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hands that will
Send this message to others shall not labour in vain, the mouth saying Amen

Have a lovely journey of life! Trust
In the Lord with all your heart and He will never fail you because He is
AWESOME!

Watch the power of God work in your life for doing the
thing that you know He loves. Remain Blessed!!!
Have an awesome day
