Sometimes the people who are noticed the least can do the most to lift us up. I got up early to take part in the race on Thanksgiving morning. It was_________that morning, so everyone there was moving around trying to stay warm.

On the side of the road, sitting in the grass, was a man_________in a blanket. It was_________that he was homeless. I know most people will pretend not to see him as usual. But I went over and talked with him for a few minutes before the race. Through the_________, I came to know he was a veteran(老兵) and his biggest_________that morning was to buy a Thanksgiving dinner for himself.

Because it was time for the_________, I told him I’d talk to him more afterwards. I thought about this_________during most of the race. I’m in the military and it always hurts to see someone who served going through such a rough time._________he hadn’t asked me for anything, I wanted to do something for him.

After the race I went back over and_________with him for probably half an hour about all sorts of things, including the faith we both share in Christ. When I parted with him, I gave him all the__________I had. He didn’t want to__________it, but I told him it might get him a little something extra during the day. The last words were “Thank you. I haven’t really talked to anybody for so long.” What he said was something I didn’t__________.

This man is thanking me for just__________with him. I’m nobody__________. I went to the run to try to do something for myself, but he did more for me than I could ever have gotten out of just running. He showed me how to smile through the rough times. He also__________me not to take for granted the many blessings I have.

I’m a mom of two teenagers, and I often visit Disney theme parks alone to recharge.

These trips give me a break from my daily ______ and some much needed alone time. If you’re ______ what a mom at Disney should do all on her own, here is what I did during a recent stay at the Four Seasons Resort on Disney World.

When I checked in online before my visit, the hotel ______ me to choose the type of bedding I preferred. Since I didn’t have to think about anyone else’s ______ I chose a pillow mattress topper and microfiber pillows, sleeping like a baby, right in the center of the bed, ______ by pillows, for the night. My hotel ______ several works from the Disney fine artist DomCorona, so I spent time walking through it and seeing his art, which normally my kids would have found ______. I waited in line to meet my favorite Disney character and took a moment to ______ for a photo with Donald Duck. However, my children would never want to stand in ______ long lines for this experience. My hotel room had a(n) ______ oversized bathtub, so I was soaked (浸泡) in a bubble bath with a glass of wine. Since no one else was around to control the ______ , I could watch a movie I’d been wanting to see for a long time. Finally, I watched fireworks in my pajamas.

______ began to slip in while lying lazily by the hotel’s pool? The answer is NO! Your kids won’t have such burden either and they may ______ it when you have a break from them. Moms are no ______ to the idea that self care is important. You’re one of your child’s most important models and taking time to ______ yourself and have fun shows your kids that adulthood isn’t all work and no play.
