I ran into a stranger as he passed by.“I’m so sorry!” was my reply.Then he said, “Excuse me too…I wasn’t even watching for you.” We were very 1 , this stranger and I.Then we went on our way after 2 goodbye.
But at 3 , a different story is told.How we treat our loved ones, young and old.Later in the kitchen, as I 4 the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still.When I turned, I nearly knocked her down.“Get out of the way!” I 5 with a frown(皱眉).She stepped away silently, with her little heart 6 .I didn’t realize how rude I had been.
That night, when I lay 7 in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 8 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite…Go and look around on the 9 floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the door.Those are the flowers she brought for you.She picked 10 up-pink, yellow, and your favorite blue.She stood there quietly and you never saw the tears in her 11 ”.
By this time, I felt sad and my own tears began to fall.I quietly went and knelt(跪)by her 12 .“Wake up, my sweetheart,” I said.“Are these the flowers you 13 for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I wrapped them in a napkin(纸巾), just for you.I knew you’d like them, especially the 14 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today…And I 15 have shouted at you that way…”
16 , she said in a soft voice, “Mommy, that’s OK…I still love you anyway.” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”
Do you know that:if you die tomorrow, the 17 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days.But the family you leave 18 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 19 than into our families-an unwise investment(投资)indeed.
Remember that 20 =(F)ATHER+(A)ND+(M)OTHER+(I)+(L)OVE+(Y)OU.
Itwas a cold winter day that Sunday.The parking lot to the 1 was filling up quickly.I noticed, as I got out of my car, fellow church members were 2 among themselves as they walked in the church.
As I got 3 I saw a man leaning up against the wall outside the church.He was almost lying down 4 he was asleep.His hat was 5 down so you could not see his face.He wore shoes that looked 30 years old, too 6 for his feet, with holes all over them, his toes 7 out.
I guessed this man was 8 , and asleep, so I walked on 9 through the doors of the church.
We all talked for a few minutes, and someone 10 the man lying outside.People whispered but no one took 11 to ask him to come in, 12 me.
A few moment later church began.We all waited for the preacher(牧师)to take his 13 and to give us the Word 14 the doors to the church opened.
In 15 the man walking down the church with his head down.
People gasped(倒吸一口气)and whispered and made 16 .
He 17 his way down the church and up onto the pulpit(讲坛)where he took off his hat and coat.My heart 18 .
There stood our preacher…he was the “homeless man”.
The preacher took his Bible(圣经)and laid it on his stand.
“Folks, I don't think I have to tell you what I am 19 about today.If you 20 people by their appearance, you have no time to love them.”

One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work.I got there a little early so I 1 the car by the roadside, across the street from where she worked, and 2 for her.
As I 3 outside the car window, to my fight there was a small park where I saw a little boy around two years old.He was running freely on the 4 as his mother watched him from a short distance.The boy had a big 5 on his face as if he had just been set 6 from some sort of prison.The boy would then fail to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as 7 as he could again, still with a smile on his face, as if 8 had happened.
When kids, especially at an early age, fall down, they don’t see their falling down as a 9 , but instead, they treat it as a 10 experience.They have the desire to try and try again 11 they succeed~The answer must be that they have not 12 "falling down” with the word "failure" yet.Thus they don't know 13 to feel the state which accompanies failure.What’s more, they probably think that it’s perfectly Okay to fall down, and that it's not 14 to do So.In other words, they give themselves 15 to make mistakes subconsciously(潜意识地).Thus they 16 encouraged.
While I was touched by the boy’s persistence, I was 17 touched by the manner in which he ran.With each 18 , he looked so confident, so natural.No 19 of fear, of nervousness, or of being discouraged-as if he didn’t have a 20 about the world around him.I learned a lot from that observation and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.
