Lady worked at a meat distribution factory. One day, when she finished with her work schedule, she went into the meat cold room (Freezer) to inspect something, but in a moment of misfortune, the door closed and she was locked inside with no help in sight.
Although she screamed and knocked with all her might, her cries went unheard as no one could hear her. Most of the workers had already gone, and outside the cold room it's impossible to hear what was going on inside.
Five hours later, whilst she was at the verge of death, the security guard of the factory eventually opened the door.
She was miraculously saved from dying that day.
When she later asked the security guard how he had come to open the door, which wasn't his usual work routine.
His explanation: "I've been working in this factory for 35 years, hundreds of workers come in and out every day, but you're one of the few who greet me in the morning and say goodbye to me every night when leaving after work. Many treat me as if I'm invisible.
Today, as you reported for work, like all other days, you greeted me in your simple manner 'Hello'. But this evening after working hours, I curiously observed that I had not heard your "Bye, see you tomorrow".
Hence, I decided to check around the factory. I look forward to your 'hi' and 'bye' every day because they remind me that I am someone.
By not hearing your farewell today, I knew something had happened. That's why I was searching every where for you."
Be humble, love and respect those around you. Try to have an impact on people who cross your path every day, you never know what tomorrow will bring.....

F A M I L Y
I banged into a stranger as he passed by,
'Oh excuse me please' was my response.'
He said, 'Please excuse me too;
I couldn't see you coming.'
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We said goodbye and went on our way .
But at home a different story unfolds,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.
When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
'Move out of the way,' I said with a frown., a little harshly.
He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.
While I lay resting in bed,
God's small voice came to me and said,
'While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor, You'll find some flowers
there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, you never
saw the tears that filled his little eyes.'
By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed; Wake up, little one,
wake up,' I said.
Are these the flowers you picked for me?'
He smiled, 'I found them, out by the tree.. I picked them
because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like them, especially the blue.'
I said, 'Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way.'
He said, 'Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway.'
I said, 'Son, I love you too, and I do like the flowers,
especially the blue.'
FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that
we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of
days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of
their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work
than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is the lesson behind the story?
Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU
