Dad was a self-employed chemist and inventor and managed a laboratory.
Both the furniture polish and the car polish he
41 were so popular that they were produced in
enormous quantities and
42 by
a nearby company in the local area, gaining a good
43 of the market.
Unfortunately, Dad told us, a large company
44 some of his research, which was a huge
45 , thus making my family completely come
into a life of great depression. We shopped at second-hand stores, and Mom did
a lot of sewing and other part-time jobs to make ends meet during this
46 time.
One day, a
47 knocked on the door and asked my mother where
she wanted him to put the
48 . With a confused look on her face, Mom
said, "But I didn’t
49 any." He replied in a firm voice,
"They are all
50 . Where shall I put them?"
My mother pointed to our large kitchen table. When Mom stood by, he
51 carton(纸板箱) after carton
52 meat, produce, canned goods, shampoo, soap and
more.
After he left, she sat down at the table, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She had been making
53 for the family meal that evening. I found out
it was the
54 food she had in the house. She hadn’t told
anyone, not even my dad. She shouldered the entire burden to provide for the
family with the mighty belief
55 God will help those who help themselves.
Much
56 , we learned that our pastor(牧师) had been deeply concerned about
our living conditions and just at that very night he had awoken with a strong
57 that our family needed urgent help. Without
any hesitation, he called the grocery store to send the
58 cartons to our family.
My mother’s faith had been
59 but was strengthened a great deal afterward. I
discovered early in life that God could
60 be trusted, and I remember it every time I
make Mom’s chicken soup.
