In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 36 a different life. It was a transitional(过渡的)time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 37 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 38 time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked 39 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have 45 to me. Or what he might 46 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 47 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always 48 never hearing him put his 49 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 50 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 52 of was the stubble(短须)on his chin as his face pressed 53 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 55 .

When Teresa,a widow with four young children,saw a notice from her church for all members to gather to deliver presents and food to a 16 family,she took $10 out of her savings jar and bought some ingredients to make three dozen 17 .She got to the church parking lot just in time to join the convoy going to the home that was to 18 the people’s help.
The route was 19 ,and she was astonished when the cars pulled up in front of her house.When the pastor saw her,he said,“ We 20 expected you to join us ,
Teresa.We know it’s been a great 21 since your husband died,and we all wanted
to 22 you.”
Although she was 23 being the object of charity,Teresa didn’t want to 24 anyone so she 25 said,“ Well,at least I can share these cookies with our 26 .”
This parable teaches us that no one is too 27 to help others and that true charity is rooted in love and compassion. 28 of spirit is worse than economic distress.Teresa’s story 29 us that very few of us give as much as we could and should.

point where one must 32 something that is desired.
You can start out easy.Take whatever 33 you are thinking of giving to charity,then 34 it.If that’s too much, increase it by 50 percent instead.The 35 is to stretch yourself.It will mean a lot to those you help,but it will mean as much to your heart.
