On June 17, my daughter gave me a new wallet as a Father’s Day present. It was a perfect gift considering that my purse that had been used for nearly a decade was much_______. I took the opportunity as well to_______some cards, notes, or small pieces of paper in it that were no longer needed. As I_______out the old wallet, I was amazed at how much it held. Carefully I went through its_______piece by piece and moved them to their new home. As I was looking at them, I_______the organ donor card that I had signed nine years ago. _______, it hadn’t yet been called into use. Still, it felt good knowing that_______something should happen to me, I would be able to give another person a second chance of life.

As I_______the card into my new wallet, I started thinking about all the_______things we can donate to help others today. We can donate our time, our talents or our wisdom. We can________our kindness. We can________our light into the darkness. We can donate every bit of love and joy inside of us. And the greatest thing of all is that when we do, we________that we have even more to share than when we started.

Maybe you wish to________an organ donor card so you can give something after you die. But don’t be afraid to give something now while you are still________. Be a donor. Make your entire life a gift to others. Donate all your________things to make this world better and brighter place.

He explained that he______ to help the man as the man helped him. “You can’t,” the vendor said. “I gave you that______ when I was poor. You’re a (n) ______ man.

I’d like to say Bill Gates______ that newspaper vendor a newspaper! But he didn’t. And that wouldn’t be the point.
