“Are you going shopping today?” my husband, Roy, asked when I answered the telephone. “I      to,” I said. Thanksgiving was only a couple days away. My money was     and I knew I had to be creative in my shopping that day.
For a few seconds, Roy sat            on the other end of the line. The nervousness gradually increased under the wordlessness, which I couldn’t wait to break through. “Why do you ask?” I whispered,          what he might say.
“Nancy, there’s a family with six kids that will not have anything to        for Thanksgiving. The little one is only five years old. While you’re at the store could you      buy something for them?” My head began to spin when I was thinking about the fifty dollars I had        for our family’s Thanksgiving dinner.
In the back of my mind I       the hungry guests who would be coming to our house for dinner. I put my head down on my desk, already feeling      . There’s no way possible, I thought. But the compassion (怜悯) I heard in my husband’s       struck a nerve inside me.
I replied, “     but only if God helps.”
I finished my work and       all the way to the nearest grocery store. I entered the parking lot and noticed a big       in the grocery store window: Turkeys---29 cents a pound. “Thank God!” I said to myself.
I went inside, but when I read the sign my heart      . “Limit one.” But I needed at least two so I decided to find the manager. I       the problem. He made an exception. To my      , I had enough money. I was even able to purchase a package of cookies for the five-year-old child who had   3  my heart, even though I had never met her.
Later that afternoon, Roy and I made a special delivery to a home       with children of all ages. I will never forget the       on the six kids’ faces.
By far, that was the greatest       of my life.
