I got aboard and sat down in my seat．It was going to be a long flight． Around me were some  1  "Where are you headed?" I asked．

       "Lakes Air Base．We'll be there for special training, and then to the front．"

After about an hour, an announcement was made that box lunches were  2  for five dollars． The journey would be several hours, and I decided to buy one．

        As I 3  for my wallet, I heard a soldier ask his fellows if he would buy lunch．"No, that seems a lot of money for just a box lunch．" I looked around at the other soldiers. 4  were buying lunch．I walked to the back of the plane and  5 the flight attendant a fifty-dollar bill．

        "Take a lunch to all those soldiers．" I said．She seized my arms tightly．Her eyes wet with tears, she  6  me, " My son is a soldier in the front．．．it's almost like you are doing it for him．"

       Picking up ten boxes, she headed to the soldiers．

       After eating, on my way to the rest room I was  7  by a man．"I saw 8 you did and I want to be part of it．" With this, he handed me twenty-five dollars．

       Soon after I returned to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming, looking at the seat numbers  9  he walked．When he got to my row he stopped, smiled, held out his10  , and said, "I want to  11  your hand．" I stood and took his hand．With a loud voice he said, "I was a soldier．12 , someone bought me a lunch．It was such an act of  13  that I never forgot．" I was a little bit  14   when applause rang out from all of the passengers．These soldiers were giving their all for our country．I could only give them a couple of meals．

When we 16  , I gathered my belongings and started to leave．A man stopped me, put something in my pocket, and walked away 17 a word．Another twenty-five dollars!

    My sister Bonnie and her husband Bob owned their own flower shop.But flowers were becoming1at more and more local stores and through the Internet2their business was not as good as it had been three years earlier when they3it.For about a year,Bonnie and Bob discussed4they should do.They debated selling.They talked about5it into a gift shop or maybe a bookstore.But there just wasn't enough6or people around the area to7the business.

    Feeling helpless,Bonnie began8praying and asking God for answers.She9"God,give me a sign telling us what You want us to do.Call me on the10she said,"and show me what to do."

    Soon the phone rang.A young woman was asking how much they wanted for the11.My husband and I never take the road beside12shop,"she said,"but we were driving by yesterday and saw the 'For Sale' sign in the13.

    Puzzled,Bonnie replied,"There isn't a sign in the window.My husband and I have been discussing whether or not we should sell,but haven't reached a14"But I saw the sign!"the young lady15insisted."My husband saw it too.It was blue and white in the16picture window17the road.

    In 2003 I started my work at my local animal shelter's Adoption Department. Over the years, more than 50,000 animals have 1 the doors of the shelter. Most of them, I do not remember. But occasionally there are animals who 2 me so deeply that I could never possibly 3 them. Tabby was one such animal.

    Tabby was an old dog, about 14 years old. What's more, she was blind and deaf. Tabby's chances at adoption seemed 4 at best. After all, we didn't have may adopters coming in5about her. We had all thought that Tabby would 6 the rest of her life at the shelter.

    One day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter. Her son, Gary, had 7 Tabby's picture and stories on the shelter's website. They were 8 in meeting her! It was the only 9 we ever received about Tabby. What could a young child 10 see in a 14-year-old dog who was both blind and deaf? Most boys would want a dog who could grow with him and 11 through grassy fields on summer days. Tabby would 12 be able to do that. But after meeting her, Loretta and Gary decided that she was the right dog for their family. They adopted Tabby!

    If Tabby's story had simply ended with her 13 adoption, it would still have been something very 14indeed. However, it was what happened after her adoption that some might label as "magical". Gary 15 from seizures(癫痫). As Gary and Tabby bonded they became 16 . They did everything together. They became so "intune" with one another that Tabby began to telegraph Gary's seizures 17 they occurred, giving his family warning that one was about to strike. What's more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby's 18.

    How could it be? Nobody could explain 19 Tabby did it. But those of us who were 20enough to know her and her family had seen a real miracle(奇迹), the kind that has its roots in love.

    In October, I told the eight-year-olds about my plan. "I'd like all of you to do extra jobs to1 some money. Then we'll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner 2 ." I wanted the children to3 that it's more blessed to give than to4. I wanted them to understand that religion is5nice theological ideas; that people somehow have to make it come 6 .

    Early in the week, the boys and girls arrived in class seizing their hard-earned money and couldn't wait to go shopping. I watched7they ran up and down the supermarket aisles.8, we headed toward the checkout. Then someone9 a “necessity” that sent them racing.

    "Flowers!'' Kristine cried, The group rushed toward the holiday10 .I pronounced, “you can't eat flowers.” But Mrs. Sherlock, we want flowers.”11,I sighed as the children moved a pot of purple mums（菊花） into the cart.

    Then we set off for the house of a needy grandmother and finally  12 in front of a small house in the woods. A woman with a tired face came to the door to13 us. My little group hurried to get the turkey and the trimmings. As each box was carried in, the old woman thanked us—much to children's 14 , When Amy put the mums on the counter, the woman seemed surprised.

    We returned to the car. Fastening seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. The woman inside waved goodbye, then turned and walked across the room, past the turkey, past the trimmings, 15 to the mums. She put her face in the flowers. When she raised her head, there was a16 on her lips. She was17 before our eyes. The children were quiet. In that one brief18, they had seen for themselves the 19 they possessed to make another's life20 . The children had sensed that sometimes a person needs a pot of funny flowers on a dark November day.

Sandra was a businesswoman in Orlando. Approaching her 50th birthday, she decided to1 her love of cats and her work experience to start the Orlando Cat Cafe.

As a lifelong cat fan, Sandra's main goal in opening the cafe was to help 2 cats up for adoption with proper pet parents. What she didn't 3at the time was that her café would help human visitors as much as the cats!

"The most4thing in the cafe is that they always have new cats and cats need socialization, so both sides 5!" says Laurie, who is one6guest. She, like many other cat lovers, who 7have pets at home because of allergies (过敏反应) in the family, often comes to the cafe to experience the benefits of 8with cute animals whenever she likes.

Plus, Sandra's cat-adoption 9aren't the only charitable initiative happening at the cafe! The coffee and food10for visitors are made by Axum Coffee, a company that was also started to11others. Axum is a city in Ethiopia where fresh water is 12and even poverty is widely visible. In fact, the coffee and food are sold at a low price at the cafe, some of whose13go to the people of Axum, Ethiopia, to help improve their14 of life.

"My cafe and Axum Coffee have a(n)15 mission to reach out to others. We hit it off and became partners," says Sandra.

Maybe the next time you visit Orlando, you'll16Sandra's cafe, and hit it off with one of the cats up for17 ! Adoption specialists are always on-site to help match the personalities of potential 18 with those of the cats in the play area. And it 19 ! More than 80 cats have been adopted since Sandra20 her business in 2016.
