Question

 In our home it was natural to fear our father. 1       our mother was afraid of him. As children,my sister and I thought every family was like that,thinking God 2        it that way.

  We were good children,even if daddy couldn't see it. Part of this was because we 3        not do anything. We were 4        especially when daddy was home.

  Then came the day we found something 5        to do. We discovered we could draw pictures with 6        on our front door,and it would rub right off. We could have lots of fun,so we set to work drawing and making lots of pretty 7        all over it. We had a great time. We decided to finish our masterpiece,knowing mama would just love it and 8        us.

  The praise we expected did not come. Instead of 9       the beauty in our work,all mama could see was the time and effort she would need to 10        it off. She was mad. We did not understand why,but we knew we were in big trouble！

Off we ran to find a place to 11        Soon we heard the frightened voices of mom and our neighbors calling out to us. Still we did not 12       . They were afraid we had run away or 13        in the pond nearby.

The sun set and it began to get dark. As we 14        together in the dark,we became aware of yet another voice strangely different,our daddy. In it we heard something we had 15        heard before：fear,pain and despair. Then came his prayers,our daddy with tears running down his face,16       God that he would give his life to him if he would safely return his girls.

Nothing in our lives had prepared us for this kind of shock. We 17       to him like a magnet (磁石) .We don't know yet if we actually took steps or if God somehow 18        us out and into Daddy's arms. What we do remember are those strong,loving arms hugging us like we were precious.

  Things were different after that. We had a new daddy. God had 19        him with another,one who loved us.

  Mama always told us that God was a God of 20.        He changed our whole family with a piece of chalk.
