Thanksgiving Day was near. The Grade 7 teacher asked her students to 16 a picture of something for which they were thankful.
People celebrated the 17 with turkey and other traditional goods of the season. So, 18 of her students’ pictures were about them.
However, Jack made a ___19____ kind of picture. Jack was not the same as other boys. He always looked sad. When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was 20 , he drew a hand. Other students were all very 21 in the picture. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers feed 22 . Another suggested a police officer, because the police 23 and care for people. Still 24 guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us. And so the 25 went on until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself.
When the children had gone on to other subjects, she stopped at Jack’s desk and asked him 26 it was. The little boy looked up and said in a 27 voice, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She remembered the times she had taken his hand and 28 with him here or there, as she had with the other students. She often said, “ 29 my hand, Jack. We’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to use your pencil.” Jack was most thankful for his ___30____ hand.

He laughed and said I had probably him, but I had changed his life. He said that twelve years ago he was in stress management class. I asked the group what their number one stress was and , including him, said it was their .
He said I listened carefully and then took a chair and placed it in the center of the room. I on the chair for a few minutes and then I invited everyone to do the same.

Alvin picked up around twenty in our area and dropped us off after school. About once a month he would make a at the local drive-in. Someone would come out and ask each of us if we wanted an ice cream or a drink. Alvin would the whole bus out of his own pocket. The kindness that he showed was .
I remember him picking us up at the end of the school year and taking us to his home for a party. He would drinks and chips for everyone.
Remembering the kindness he showed, I called him up twenty years and thanked him. I told him that he probably wouldn’t remember , but I sure remembered him! We didn’t see much kindness from others as we grew up, so it made it all the more .
I could hear the smile in his voice when he thanked me for calling. He’s the reason why I do my to show kindness to everyone whom I cross paths with. He’s had such a huge impact in my life and I’m so thankful that I was able to tell him.
