Teaching anyone to think of others before themselves is. I believe, a life-long effort. For me right now, it might mean not buying that extra shirt or a cup of coffee and 41 saving the money to help someone 42 . For my kids, it might mean sharing 43 , happily taking turns in the playground. I like to 44 thinking of others and finding a way to help them as “kindness”.
On this particular day, instead of 45 a lot of money on a lunch out in the restaurant, we bought some 46 little toys to give to strangers. I asked the boys 47 they would like to give these toys to other children. At first they were disappointed because they wanted to 48 them. This wasn’t surprising---I knew that if my mom bought a whole lot of great shirts which I thought were for me, and then said she wanted to give them away, I might at first be a bit 49 , too. So we 50 them and my oldest child 51 we keep one and give the others away to make others happy. We 52 this was a good idea and then they started to get excited about the 53 of giving them away, asking me who they could give them to and how.
We 54 some slips of paper, punched(开洞)a hole, 55 them to the little dolls, and then headed out for the local mall.
The boys were very excited to be on their way to 56 the toys, and I admitted I was a bit 57 . What would the parents think as we gave their child a toy? Would they be 58 , or not like the gift? But I took some deep 59 and realized that if we are doing something out of love, we can only give with open 60 and accept whatever is to come.
