we are love
I have two friends who were financially strapped and needed my help on two occasions.
The first guy was in his final year in University. He needed some money for school fees and other 41 purposes, and he came to me. Being a student, I didn't have much, but I gave him what he needed on the 42 that he would pay back. I never asked when he'd 43 .
Later on, after he 44 school, he got into another period of deep financial stress. He asked to 45 some more money, praying that he'd pay all of it back once he lands a job. Out of 46 , I still gave him the exact amount he needed, 47 was twice the amount I had given him initially. He was so 48 . It’s so hard to find someone willing to lend you that amount of money, even with 49 . I never bothered him after that.
Another time, a second friend found himself in a financial dilemma(困境). His 50 had already expired(期满) for two months, and his landlord was 51 to throw his things out from the house the next day. Being an orphan, he only had an uncle who was partially 52 him. His uncle had 53 to send the money in three months.
My friend called me up 54 the phone and told me his predicament. I had just lost my mother, and the day before my father had given me some money for my monthly upkeep. 55 somehow that my friend needed that money 56 I did and coincidentally, it was the 57 amount he needed, I gave it all to him and asked him not to pay back. "Seriously? What did you just do for me? 58!" He was happy, and I was too. To this day, he still expresses his 59 .
In life, it is the small but mighty actions of love that matter. When life is over, that's what counts. We are 60 . Love unites us. Love is the key.
