Passage 1

When I was a boy I didn’t have a smart phone,home computers were unheard of,and our 13 inch television could only get one channel in clearly. Yet,I was never 1 . When spring arrived I would 2 my trusty bike and ride. I would pedal for hours,feel the wind on my face and laugh with 3 as I rode down the hills. When summer came I would find myself 4 every day at the local pool or the river down the hill from my home. I never got sunburned 5 I was never out of the water long enough. When it was 6 my friends and I would play football for hours and when the leaves fell we would rake them into huge golden and red 7 to jump in. The first 8 of winter didn’t stop the fun either. My brothers and I would have snowball fights and 9 into the woods to cut down our Christmas tree. 10 I would sit in my favorite chair by the warm,wood stove and read books that carried my 11 away to different lands and endless adventures.

Those simple 12 always brought me so much fun,so much laughter,and so much happiness. There was 13 to be bored about because there was always something to do,something to enjoy,and something to 14. I feel a bit sorry for the children of today because they are spending so much time watching and so little time 15.

One thing I am 16 ,though,is that even in this technological world the simple pleasures of life can still soothe your soul. A hug still warms your heart. A walk in the woods still 17 your spirit. Petting a dog,playing a game, 18 a hand,and saying “I love you” still make you feel joy. God loves us so much and God gives us the simple pleasures of life to enjoy and to 19 . Embrace them all. Welcome them into your day,take them into your heart,and share them with everyone. Live and love as a joyous Child of God today and 20 .

Passage 2

I was sitting at the kitchen table finishing my morning oatmeal. A little taste of autumn 1 had crept into my soul. The lessening sunlight, 2 air,gray skies,and falling leaves all hinted of (suggested) the winter to come. I took my 3 drink of coffee and carried my empty oatmeal bowl over to the 4 to rinse (clean) it out. Sitting on top of the kitchen counter were my two cats,transfixed (dumbfounded),staring 5 them. I focused in and saw that they were both 6 a tiny spider propelling (moving) down on a single web strain from the light bulb above. Just as the spider came 7 both cats started to bat at him. I quickly took a paper towel and snatched up the little guy before he became a kitty 8 . I walked out the back door to let him go. As soon as I 9 him down he quickly crawled to safety under my porch. As I shut the door I noticed something too. I was 10 and my sadness was gone.

Now I know a lot of people would be 11 about how saving the eight-legged acrobat could have lifted my spirits so quickly. 12 ,it was just a spider. As I thought about it, 13 ,I remembered two quotes I had recently read that spoke to my 14 . The first was:“The only true thing is love.” The second was:“Do everything 15 .” I realized then that no act of love no matter how tiny is 16 in the eyes of God. I had only 17 a spider to live another day,but it had 18 my heart,uplifted my spirit,and reconnected my soul with heaven.

When it comes to life,always live from love. Always do everything out of love. When you do you will feel truly 19 . When you do you will help not only yourself,but others and this 20 . When you do your soul will hear all of heaven cheer. In God’s eyes every smile you share is a treasure,every kind act you do is a triumph,and everything you do in love is divine.

Passage 3

He started his lecture,then pointing to the 1 row,those who were sitting exactly in front of the 2 ,he asked,“How many legs the chair has that you can see,but answer me exactly what you 3 ,not considering that the chair has four legs.”

The first person of the middle row 4 ,“Two. Because the other two legs were 5 behind the front legs.”

The professor then asked the 6 question to the left side viewers. The answer 7 “Three.” Here,one back leg washidden behind one of its front side leg. So,only three were 8 .

The same question was 9 to the right side and the extreme corner side audience. The answers,he 10 ,were“Three” and “Four” respectively.

The professor then said,“Look! 11 of you know that the chair has four legs, 12 when I asked you to answer me exactly what you are observing from your 13 ,your answer varied. Yet,do you think it is possible? So what does it mean? Do you think that the same chair has two,three or four legs? 14 ,the answer is ‘no’. We assume it as the varied numbers 15 our perception,the angle from which we 16 . So,what I mean to say is that our perception is not always absolutely 17 or true. The same thing 18 everybody,when he/she judges others from his/her view points. Kindly, 19 ,but judge others correctly.”
