It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along        the song playing on the radio. I     at the intersection(交叉路口) and looked both ways. The road was       . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came      at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car killing the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾驰) past my dead car      me by inches without even slowing down.
      I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips,       after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me      . With a red face and a(an)       smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home.
Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain      words coming from my son’s bedroom. He was replaying the        over and over in his mind. Too           I realized the        of those words that had flown from my lips in that moment of     . It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the       of that incident.
That      , however, did teach me just how strong words       be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒骂) in my own life and to start using words uplifting and    inspire instead. I slowly realized that language is a       from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned       that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a        spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light.
