Question

Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself．Just then, an air hostess 36 me and asked, "Would you mind changing your seat? A couple would like to sit together．The only other 37 seat was next to a woman with both arms in casts（石膏）, a black-and-blue face, and a depressed emotion．" 38 am I going to sit there" was my immediate thought． 39　 then a soft voice spoke, "She needs help．" Finally I took my new seat and 40 that the girl was named Kathy and had survived in an auto accident, and she was on her way for 41 .

When the snack of nuts and juice arrived，42 did not take me long to realize that Kathy would not be able to 43 herself．I considered offering to feed her but 44 , as it seemed too close a service to offer to a stranger．But then I decided that Kathy's need was more important than my 45 ．I offered to help her eat, and although she too was uncomfortable about __46___ it, she did. The experience was 　47 and she and I ___48__close in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart was fully 　49 ,and the time was __50___ better spent than if I had just sat by myself.

I was very glad I had reached beyond my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love sometimes 　51 beyond human borders and dissolves the fears 　52 keep us separate. When we stretch to serve another, we grow to live in a larger, more 53 world.

　　　 Help me move 　54 the small self so I can connect with the hearts of others.

　　　 When I give 55 to another, I feed my own soul.
