Once there was a very brilliant, creative and educated man. He gained much
36 while traveling throughout the world.
37 , he lost his legs and left arm in a tragic accident, leaving only a finger and thumb on his right hand. He became so depressed(沮喪的)that he was afraid he would spend his life
38 and would no longer be able to use his life in a(n)
39 way.
One day, he remembered how he had always loved getting
40 . He realized that he still had partial
41 of his right hand and could write with

46 them. So he wrote to a prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied that writing to the prisoners would be
47 . However, it would be against prison rules for the prisoners to write back.
48 with the intention, the man began sending
49 messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul
50 his words,
51 his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.
It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of any
52 . Frequently, he felt discouraged, wondering if anyone
53 read his letters. However, this was his
54 chance,so he determined to continue.
At last, he received a letter from the prison officer, which said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell (牢房) to cell until they almost fall to
55 !”
We all have unique experiences, abilities and talents. We can discover ways to reach others in need of encouragement and strength.
