Arghhh!!! I'm missing them like crazy. I miss the time we spent together. The fun, sadness, tantrums and excitement we shared during our practices and during our lessons. This year's preparation and people meant so much to me. I couldn't think of the reasons. But I just felt that this year's closing was so different compared to previous years.
Hmm... These group of kids really pleased me well. Most of them are very helpful in nature. This year we did something different besides learning about the stories in the bible. We learnt about contentment, taking care and helping the special ones, focus on good things and appreciate the people and things around us.
The best thing is not because of we did something different but it's when I saw some of them applying what they had learned into their lives. I'm most blessed to see them doing so. Yes! This is the ultimate objective of teaching them such values. During our lessons, we may have some video- showings at the end of the class. Some videos really touched the soft part of their hearts that their tears swelled in their little eyes. I really thank God for putting things into place for this little ones to learn to be helpful, to be sensitive to others' needs and to be able to accept the special ones in class as well as always ready to help and guide them.
The most touching moment is when they start talking to me about their lives in schools, about their teachers and some gossips. LOL! They made me feel that I'm accepted. This is the most wonderful thing for me.
This year, I started the practice late as I was bogged down by a lot of other things like work and studies. I had three assignments and I was expected to complete them in a month. YES! All three of them. I was quite stressful and my mind was not able to function until the very last minute that I forced myself to quiet down and start thinking about it. Thanks to Mun Yan who gave me an idea. Thus, we started preparing the costumes and all for the kids after the flow of the presentation was done. We started the preparation late too. I was so reluctant to stay back after church and to go back to church on week days to do all the drawings, cuttings and pasting as I have to finish my assignments. To complete one masks took us each an hour.
Thank God that I managed to complete the assignments in time and also the preparations in time. We were blessed with another friend to help us on the last day of the preparation too. See, when God started the idea, He will make all things right. We just need to put in the effort that we should and leave the rest to Him. Guess what? I got all distinctions for my three assignments. This was really a surprised and a great blessing to help me move on. Hmm... I can't help but to say that God will never forsake us when we seek Him first. He will make our path straight as long as we trust and walk with Him.
Maybe this is the reason why this year's Sunday School closing meant so much to me. I experienced the goodness and faithfulness of God.
