My Favourite Teacher

I was teaching in Sunday School yesterday. The lesson was about Jesus feeding the 5,000 hungry people.

There were 13 children yesterday and half of them are new, and the other half are the old ones.

It's difficult to "control" these children by myself! My assistant (LK) was away on a business trip and I am clueless how a teacher in scholl can keep a class of 30 to 40 small children (7 to 8 years old) in control.

Anyway, I let them play with word puzzle. Some of them are really serious in doing it by themselves and some of them gave up quite easily. They are proud when the have found one of the words in the list and imagine so many of them keep on announcing to me they are one step closer to completing it!

"Well done!" "Good job!" "Keep it up!" "Come on, don't give up" "Very good, try looking for the next one" "Here is the answer"...those are the words I said...

In spite of all these "noise and chaos", one girl came to me and said, "Teacher, did you know that you are my favourite Sunday School teacher?"

Wow...I'm so glad to hear that =) This little girl, I can still remember the first time she entered my class. She was so shy and was reluctant to come into the class because, according to her mom, I looked like her school teacher.

It made my day to know that I'm her favourite. And as I continue to teach Sunday School, I hope that I will in some small little ways make an impact on their walk with Jesus.


It's a great thing to serve the Lord;
