A few years ago when my youngest son Matt was eight years old, we were getting things together to take to the Salvation Army (救世军) at Christmas time. The boys would go through their old 36 and give away what they didn’t 37 . I made cookies and got together blankets and clothes. After that Matt and I 38 the Christmas package to our local Salvation Army. We unloaded 39 and headed home.

40 we took the corner out of the parking lot, Matt 41 that a baseball glove he had put in the bag had 42 . He said, “Mom, we forgot my glove.” Just then he saw a little boy and his mom sitting on a bench on the side of a building 43 a small playground was. He said, “Mom, can we 44 so that I can give the glove to him?” I said, “ 45 .” And we drove to the side of the 46 and went through the gate.

Matt handed the boy the glove and said, “Here, Santa 47 me to give it to you.” He was so 48 to get it! His mom 49 and gave Matt a huge hug. Her eyes were full of tears. “It is the best 50 he could get,” she looked at us and said, “because the 51 thing I could get him this year was a baseball.”

When we got back in the car, Matt said to me, “Mom, God must have made me 52 the baseball glove inside so the little boy could have it — it was 53 to be!” That moment proved my 54 that everything happens for a 55 and I have tried my best to get people to see that ever since!
