I read this story shared by Michelle, who recently passed away:
"One morning when I was little, my father took me to the fishing dock. But_________fishing, we just sat on one _________ watching the other children fishing with their parents. An hour went by and we left without ever _________ a single fishing line into the water.
On the_________ home, I told my father I would never _________ him for being so mean to me. He asked smilingly,"Did you see the smiles on those children's faces?''I don't really _________! I just want to fish like them!' I responded angrily, but he _________my words and kept driving.
Such experiences repeated throughout my childhood and my father never _________why. But actually he didn't need to. Years later, when I found myself volunteering at a local homeless_________, I suddenly realized that those ____________ spent sitting on that dock was the very point ____________ I learned how to love."
Michelle's last story makes me think...
Honestly, too often we overlook ____________ and rarely stop. Because we never learn that every passing face represents a story. Everyone has ____________ something that has forced them to ____________, adapt and grow. Everyone's smile has been earned. Their issues are____________as significant and worthwhile as ____________we're going through.
Pausing occasionally to____________people around us will open our mind. ____________in their happiness will open our heart. If choosing to spend time pausing instead of bypassing quickly—to truly ____________and listen, we can learn so much… about ourselves, about each other, and even about real ____________.
