today's teacher's day celebrations in church!(:haha at least for 730am sunday school.
anyhow, somehow to aunty christine, when she says that teachers get to rest on teacher's day, somehow that dosen't apply to us (deborah liz joanne & i). hence we have to plan games or songs! so we decided to sing the usual songs (if you're happy & you know it, father abraham, Jesus loves the little children) & play TREASURE HUNT! :D okay thats like, my all time favourite when i was a kid. haha, so deb & i brought whatever sweets & chocolates we could find at home & liz & joanne went to hide it in several rooms while we were singing songs. (: it was really fun to a good extent, & i guess all the kids really enjoyed themselves playing the game :D so fun man i also want to play! yeah, joy joined in & i kept wanting to disqualify her (but she refused to be) because she's 6 thus keep finding so many! that girl keeps laughing out loud, very cute :D but at least when she finds the sweets she'll give them to her younger sibs, faith & grace.
God did teach me something today though. seeing certain things happening & a certain someone made me think alot, & i guess its really sad ): for a moment, i really could feel her pain. its sad, because now i see her being forced into a new kind of maturity, something which kids at her age shouldn't experiencing. anyhow, i'm really proud of her in a way (: yes, i'm sure i'm not the first one to ask God "why". but yet again, there's still that hope that i hope we all continue to cling on to yeah (: & that, was certainly not a mistake, because our God does not make mistakes.
hmm looking back at this 3years, i guess God sure did give & provide me a whole lot of experiences. i think its a blessing, to know these kids from young, knowing how they all started out, knowing each of their unique story, loving them, & them loving me back (: & i'm really thankful for my current class. hahaha a baby class, literally! :D you can tell by the age here:
Joash (age4), Alvina (age4), Faith (age4), Grace (age3), Lixin (age2), Seth (age1). :D yay & i super love all of them! all of them super cute. Lixin is so small & fragile but yet so cheeky. hehee seriously, she looks as if when you poke her she'll fall over! :P Seth, is super cute too. he's elsie's brother & he somehow always looks like he's gna cry but when he smiles, so handsome man! :D
today i got lots of hugs. :D okay i get them every sunday, but today seemed to be plenty more because grace was super duper hyper & lixin was so giggly. yeah, children do bring you lots of joy, if you want to see it as that way & they sure do remind me to be thankful for the simplest things on earth (:
ah that was one long post all about the work & people i do & meet every sunday morning (: hehe.
There is a higher throne
Than all this world has known,
Where faithful ones from ev'ry tongue
Will one day come.
Before the Son we'll stand,
Made faultless through the Lamb;
Believing hearts find promised grace—
Salvation comes.
