Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, a flight attendant 41 me and asked, "Would you mind changing your seat? A couple would like to sit together. “The only other 42 seat was next to a woman with both arms in casts(石膏), a black-and-blue face, and a depressed emotion." 43 am I going to sit there" was my immediate thought. 44 then a deeper, quieter voice spoke, "Opportunity.”Finally I took my new seat and 45 that Kathy had been in an auto collision, and she was on her way for 46 。
When the snack of nuts and juice arrived, 47 did not take me long to realize that Kathy would not be able to 48 herself. I considered offering to feed her but 49 , as it seemed too close a service to offer to a stranger. But then I decided that Kathy's need was more important than my 50 . I offered to help her eat, and although she too was uncomfortable about __51___it, she did. The experience was 52 and she and I ___53__close in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart was fully 54, and the time was __55___ better spent than if I had just sat by myself.
I was very glad I had reached beyond my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love sometimes 56 beyond human borders and dissolves the fears 57 keep us separate. When we stretch to serve another, we grow to live in a larger, more 58 world.
Help me move 59 the small self so I can connect with the hearts of others.
When I give 60 to another, I feed my own soul.
