A Deed a Day

It was a busy day as usual. I was making sandwiches and balancing the phone between my shoulder

and chin. The washing machine sounded as my husband walked in with our daughters. We had only about twenty minutes to eat     we had to take the girls to their next activity. My husband seemed a bit    that dinner was not on the table.

My daughters began to rush to me after school to    me the good deed they had done.

  Who would have thought that trying to do a simple kindness a day would be so    ? I feel my daughters have felt inner joy that you can only    by giving to someone else from your heart. The best thing is that you feel so great about doing something for someone else; you don't even look for or expect anything in   . So, when someone does return the favor, it is an enormous and positive    .
