It was one of the hardest days of my young life.I was a 13-year-old freshman trying out for the high school 21 team.It was the first day of full 22 and my 110 pounds body had been 23 to the ground more times than I could count.It had become 24 as the practice went on that there was no way I was going to be able to 25 against the faster and stronger boys.My dream of being a high school football star had been crashed to the ground along with my 26 body.
I made it home sore and 27 and my Mom met me at the door.She could see I was 28 in a glance.She warmed me up a bowl of soup and 29 me until dinner.While I sipped at the warm soup I 30 her hand gently rubbing my aching back.We 31 said a word,but by the time the soup was done I was feeling better again.I knew I was 32 and that was all that mattered.
I have carried that 33 in my heart all of these years.Even today,no matter what 34 life throws at me,a bowl of soup always raises my spirits.Sometimes I can even feel Mom’s gentle hand 35 my back from Heaven and see her beautiful face smiling 36 with love.
In this world all of us have had our dreams 37 at one time or another.It takes a lot of broken dreams until we find our true 38 in life.God is always there, 39 ,to comfort us,and to help us back to our 40 again.May you always share your own love with a gentle touch,or even a bowl of soup.
