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    .
