All houses should have a kitchen window.At least,for me,there is a lot to see in the view from my kitchen window.
It was a spring day,and I was washing the dishes when I happened to 1 of the kitchen window into the backyard.My husband,Mike,was out cultivating the garden with a 2 .Our son,Jeremy,who was four years old at the time was right 3 him.
Mike was moving the plough very 4 in order to do a good job of breaking up the soil for 5 .My son was just inches behind my husband and each time Mike took a step,Jeremy took a step.He would carefully put his own small 6 in the huge footmark 7 from my husband’s boot.He took a 8 with his right foot and then his left and then he would wait 9 for when it would be time to take the next step.Although Jeremy didn’t know it,his father had been 10 over him all the time,even when he stumbled(绊) and 11 .
That view from my kitchen window has 12 in my mind until this day.In one way it is a 13 of the need of a child for a father’s good example.
It is also an illustration for all of us.How many times I have walked ahead of my father, 14 to find dry and hard ground that I couldn’t 15 because it hadn’t been ploughed yet.I got into 16 because I didn’t wait for my father to go before me and 17 the way.
At other times,I became 18 of waiting for the next step and began looking around at all the rocks of the world that led me to 19 my road.Like Jeremy,all I needed was to turn around and 20 my eyes on my father who had also been watching over me all the time.
