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 (疾驰) 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 (咒骂) 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.
