I first 1 a boy under the tree on the first day of camp. His obvious 2 and shyness made him appear
weak and lonely. Nearby, 200 13 campers were playing and joking, but the boy seemed to want to be
anywhere 4 where he was.
I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel 5 . So I 6 him and said, "Hi, I"m Kevin.
It"s nice to meet you. How are you?"
7 a shaky voice he 8 answered, "Okay, I guess."
I calmly asked him to join in the activities and 9 some new people. He quietly replied, "No, this is not
really my thing."
I could 10 that this whole experience was 11 to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn"t be right to 12
him, either. It was going to take more time and 13 .
The next day, I was leading camp songs for the campers. They eagerly participated. But the boy was just
sitting alone, 14 out the window.
That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my 15 about him known. I asked them to pay special
attention and spend time with him 16 they could.
The days flew by fast. When the "last dance" came, surprisingly, the boy from under the tree was now a
shirtless dancing 17 . He owned the dance floor 18 meaningful time with others. I couldn"t believe it was him.
In that instant, I realized how easy it is to give a bit of 19 every day. You may never know how much
each gesture may mean to someone else. I tell this story as 20 as I can, and I advise others to look out for
their own "boy under the tree."

| Ms. Keller often said," Without Annie Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown." As a little girl, Sullivan was no stranger to hardship (困苦). She almost couldn"t see anything and was, at one time, locked in a dark underground room of a mental institution (精神病院) because of mental problems. Little Annie Sullivan would attack anyone who came near sometimes. However, an elderly nurse believed there was hope and she offered to help the child. Every day she made all her efforts to give little Annie words of love and encouragement. At last, doctors noticed a change in the girl. They ever saw an ger and hostility (敌意) in her eyes, while now they noticed a little gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to become better.

It was she who saw hope in Helen Keller. She loved her, played with her until the flickering candle became a bright light to the world. Annie Sullivan brought wonders into Helen"s life.

| Grandpa Nybakken loved life-especially when he could play a trick on somebody. At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, "Oh, forevermore!" But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasn"t laughing. Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved fruitless. Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China! The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning. "It"s not fair," he told God as he drove home in frustration."I"ve been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this." Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather"s small church in Chicago. Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation (教堂会众). "But most of all," he said, "I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year." "Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this. Then your boxes arrived. When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top." After a long pause, he continued, "Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!" The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses. But the director surely must have confused their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas. But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way. | ||||||||||||||
