As the teacher 30 the strange sight of a poor worm 31 its dead half across the floor, a little girl ran in and noticed it there. Picking it up, she said," Oh, Oscar, when are you going to 32 that dead part so you can really hve?"
What a marvelous 33 for all of us! When are we going to lose that dead part so we can really hve? When are we going to let go of past pain so we can live 34 ? When are we going to drop the baggage of needless guilt so we can 35 life? When are we going to let go of that past resentment so we can know peace?
Have you been dragging something that is dead and gone around with you? Are you ready to lose that dead part so you can really live?
