Just Five More Minutes
While at the park one day, a woman sat down
next to a man on a bench near a
playground.
"That's my son over there," she said,
pointing to a little boy in a red sweater
who was swinging on a small bridge.
"He's a fine looking boy" the man said.
"That's my daughter on the bike in the
white dress."
Then, looking at his watch,
he called to his daughter.
"What do you say we go,
Melissa?"
Melissa pleaded, "Just five more minutes,
Dad. Please?
Just five more minutes."
The man nodded and Melissa continued to ride
her bike to her heart's content.
Minutes passed and the father stood and
called again to his daughter.
"Time to
go now?"
Again Melissa pleaded, "Five more minutes,
Dad. Just five more minutes."
The man smiled and said, "OK."
"My, you certainly are a patient father,"
the woman responded.
The man smiled and then said, "Her older brother
Tommy was killed by a drunk
driver last year
while he was riding his bike near here.
I never spent much time
with Tommy and
now I'd give anything for just five more
minutes with him. I've
vowed not to make
the same mistake with Melissa.
She thinks she has five more minutes to ride
her bike.
The truth is, I get Five
more
minutes to watch her play."
Life is all about making priorities,
what are your priorities?
Give someone you
love 5 more minutes
of your time today!
