| It was a week before Christmas, but things were far from cheery. Our task was to deliver as many boxes of food as possible to those in need in Camden, New Jersey. There were no Christmas carolers (唱颂歌的人) walking these streets that were lined with boarded-up (用木板封住的) houses and broken windows. Mothers kept their children close as they hurried down the streets. It was mid-afternoon, but even the bright sun couldn"t warm this place. Red tickets in the windows marked which houses we were to visit. Our white truck stopped in front of one townhouse and our group knocked on the door. In our arms were boxes filled with ham, bread and other essentials to make the perfect Christmas dinner. Four small faces glanced through the curtains and one exhausted mom answered the door. She seemed embarrassed to be caught in her nightgown with undone hair. She was in her mid-20s, but her rough skin and tired eyes added years. "Sacred Heart food delivery service," I smiled."Where can we put this for you?" She pointed and as we entered the house, I noticed the conditions they lived in. The children climbed around, wearing only diapers (尿布). There were no carpets, only cold concrete beneath our feet. There was no Christmas tree or decorations. My heart sank. It was so cold, and I found it hard to believe that this was reality for this family. We set the boxes down and the mother grabbed my hand. "You don"t know how much of a blessing this is to me and my family," she said, crying."We are just getting by." I opened my arms and gave her a hug. "Happy holidays!" I replied before I headed out the door. I realized how warm I felt inside. This was unlike anything I had ever experienced. We cannot help what family we are born into, but we can help each other. | ||||||||||||||

| Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett"s jeans and shirt full of burn holes. Tired and defeated, I 1 to the floor. The clothes were just one more thing Brett had 2 . He often got almost everything in the house out of 3 . Many windows in our house needed repairing due to his breaking 4 to steal money when he chose to live on the street. Yet none of this could compare to the emotional 5 Brett had done to our once quiet home. Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett as 6 as possible, but inside I was shouting, "I don"t want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can"t 7 him!" Having wiped my tears, I continued 8 him as before. When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall (少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping 9 teens (少年). At the 10 ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had 11 the most to him or her. Brett spoke 12 to his parents and then spoke to me, "You did so much. You were always there, no matter 13 . My mom and dad, I am their kid. But you, 14 troubled enough by me, always 15 me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it." 16 , I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me 17 . At that moment, tears 18 in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for 19 . Although I had struggled with silent 20 toward my stepson (继子), Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our life, but we can love them. | ||||||||||||||
