The Best Holiday
I was unbelievably proud of my nine-year-old daughter, Emily. 36 to buy a mountain bike, she’d been saving her pocket money all year, as well as doing small jobs to earn extra money.
By Thanksgiving , she had collected only $49. I said, “ You 37 have your pick from my bicycle 38 ”. “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old. ” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would 39 choose.
As Christmas 40 near, Emily and I went bike shopping . As we left one store, she 41 a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy?” She asked. “Sorry, Em, I’m out of 42 . ”
Throughout December, Emily continued to work hard. Then one day, she made a 43 announcement. “You know all the money I’ve been saving?” she said hesitantly. “I’m going to give it to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $58 to a volunteer who was really very 44 .
45 by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to contribute 46 of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. 47 I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow. Should I contribute two? No, one would be enough. But I couldn’t 48 the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later 49 the bikes, the car dealer said, “You’re making two kids very 50 , sir . Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, we’re 51 away one chance to win a girl’s mountain bike. ”
Why wasn’t I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the 52 ? I like to think it was God’s way of 53 a little girl for a sacrifice 54 her year--while giving her dad a lesson in the 55 .
