题目内容:
My kids and I were heading into the superstore over the weekend. On the way, we saw a man covered by a blanket and holding a sign that said, "Lost my job. Family to Feed."
At this store, a sight like this is not normal. It was obvious that the man was embarrassed, but desperate. My 10-year-old noticed him and said how bad it must be to have to stand outside in the cold wind.
While we were in the store, I asked each of the kids to pick something they thought our "friend" outside would need. They picked a couple of apples, a package of bread, a sandwich, some cheese and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old asked, "Can we get him a gift card?" I thought about it. We were low on cash ourselves, but …well, sometimes giving from our "need" instead of our "abundance (充裕)" is just what we need to do! All the kids declared something they could do away with for the week.
We quickly checked out, with the foods he could eat at the moment, and a gift card for the store. At the suggestion of my 16-year-old, we also bought a hot cup of coffee, and then drove to the end of the parking lot, where our "friend" was holding his sign.
We handed him the coffee and the bag of food. He thanked us with watery eyes. When I handed him the gift card and said he could use it for whatever his family might need, he burst into tears, obviously overwhelmed and grateful.
Though I wished we could have done more, I can't help but think about how this experience has been such a wonderful opportunity for our family. The feeling of helping someone else has affected them all---they cannot stop talking about it, and for four days now have been searching for others we can help!
Things would have played out so differently if I had simply said, "No, we really don't have money to give more," or something to that effect. Stepping out not only helped a brother in need, it also gave my kids the______ taste of helping others.
