It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old
son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along 36 the
song playing on the radio. I 37 at the
intersection(交叉路口) and looked both ways. The road was 38
. I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the
curve at high speed and came straight at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car 39 the
engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾馳) past my dead
car 40 me by inches without even slowing down.
41 I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying
from my lips, 42 after the car and its driver. I
then saw my son who was staring up at me 43 . With a
red face and a(an) 44 smile I started the car,
pulled back onto the road, and headed home.
Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard
certain 45 words coming from my son’s bedroom. He was
replaying the 46 over and over in his mind. Too 47
I realized the 48 of those words that
had 49 from my lips in that moment of anger. It
took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the 50 of that
incident.
That 51 , however, did teach
me just how strong words 52 be. It helped me to decide
to stop swearing (咒罵) in my own life and to start using words
uplifting and 53 instead. I slowly
realized that language is a gift from God and should be used to make our world
better but not worse. I learned 54 that a few loving
words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a 55 spirit,
and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of
love, joy, happiness, and light.
