December was always a busy month for our women’s Sunday school class. However, my classmates and I still wanted to do a special together that would really serve a good cause.
“We could at a homeless shelter,” Linda suggested when I asked before class.
“Or send care cards to our soldiers overseas,” said Kelly. “And we could joy to our neighbors right here in town.”
“They’re all good ideas,” I said as we our lesson. “But which one do we pick?”
At the end of the class, as always, we shared our answers again. Katie had made it on time, and she had seemed distracted (分心) during the lesson. But now she told us, “My family could really get your kindness. My husband still hasn’t found full-time work. We’re falling with the rent. I’ve looked everywhere, but I haven’t been able to find a job.” Katie her face in her hands. I knew how she was and how hard their family had .
“We trust you to meet this family’s needs.” our teacher said.
“Poor Katie,” Kelly said to me we walked out to our cars. “On top of everything else, she told me that one of her little had her bike stolen just the other day!”
“I think I know what our special project should be.” I said.
E-mails flew back and forth among class members. Soon we enough money for Katie’s . Linda and Patti bought a shirt for Katie’s husband and a beautiful new for Katie. Kelly found two as good as new, one for each of their girls. Brenda and Diane groceries (食品杂货店) for Christmas dinner and beyond. Stephanie decorated stockings (长袜) with treats. Then, on Christmas Eve, we a person from a neighboring town to send her all of the gifts, so that we could remain Secret Santas.
The first class after Christmas, Katie wore her new dress, and a big smile. By then I think she who her Secret Santas were, but if she hadn’t, the smiles we flashed back surely gave us .

I devote myself to music because of my grandmother. My mom and I lived with grandparents from the time I was two until I was eight. And even then, I was at their house before and after school every day while my mother was at work.
Grandma loved music. It was her that first _31 me to Elvis Presley as a very young child, and once I heard his music, I was truly in 32 with it. Most five-year-olds ask for 33 for birthdays, but I wanted Elvis’albums. I would play them non-stop and 34 to the music in my grandma’s family room though my movements didn’t look good.
Grandma played the piano and 35 me to sing “America the Beautiful” and “Somewhere over the Rainbow”.

I _39 took about nine months of lessons, but it was enough to give me a(n) 40 and allow me to continue to teach myself.
Last month when I came home to visit Grandma in the hospital, I brought along my guitar with me. She was in a lot of pain, but the music seemed to _41 her soul. She had me sing some songs and when I started to sing “Somewhere over the Rainbow”, her weakened voice 42 in with mine for a few lines. That experience was one of the most 43 of my lifetime and one I will certainly cherish forever. I told her of my music career and she was very _44 and said, “That’s wonderful!” I _45 to play for her throughout the week I was home.

Every person has some unforgettable experiences in his life .Some will remain in his heart as instructive stories to his life. I believe that we often tell ourselves the stories in order to keep our sanity(通情达理). These stories stay inside ourselves.
Many of the stories that I have kept inside myself are in the 36 of lessons that have taught me something about life. These lessons are 37 to carry with me. They require no outside 38 to store them in. No one can 39 me of them. They 40 their freshness without having to be renewed. And I can offer them to others wi
thout 41 them myself.
I remember there is a lesson which is about a little girl who was 42 from a serious disease. Her only chance of 43 was to have a blood transfusion(输血) 44 her five-year-old brother. The doctor asked the little boy 45 he would be willing to give his 46 to his sister. He took a 47 breath and said he would do it if it would save her life.
As the transfusion took place, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled as he watched the color 48 to her cheeks. Then his 49 disappeared. He looked up at the doctor and asked in a trembling 50 . “Will I start to 51 right away?”
Being so 52 , the lovely little boy had 53 the doctor. He thought he was going to die after he gave blood to his sister.
This was my lesson in “ 54 ”. I learned that a candle loses 55 by lighting another candle.
