A Sharing...
This past week, one of my old Sunday School students MSN me. He was one of my students since he was in GR1. "Uncle Ben" and I and "Auntie Irene" used to teach him as a child and the other children in Children's Church. For me, I didn't realize at the time the impact I had on the children. My goal, to teach the kids crafts and songs and survive the hour. That was then...
Years later, I taught this student again but now in GR3, 4 and 5. Yes, I taught this class three years in a row. As they were growing, I grew with them. At that time, I was in Post-Secondary...I enjoyed teaching young children about God. Back then, I did not see the seed that I planted into these children. I was just teaching them the basics about God, about His creation and His love for us. I hoped they would remember something I taught these children...
Again years later, we're now in September 2006. A lot has changed. That same student and his friends that I once taught are now in GR9. Wow, time sure flies. I'm starting to feel old now...(LOL)and I'm only in my 20's. This past week, "BH" shared with me that he missed me and asked when I was coming back to Church(HCAC)? Politely, I answered, I miss you all too, you have all grown into the "teenage" years. Since I left in the year, my brother has told me how BH has grown over the years, and with more Christian influence, the right guidance, direction, I will see his baptism one day.
When I think back, he is not the same little BH that I taught back then but to see the young adult that you now have become, I am proud of you. I pray that you continue to seek the Lord, to learn about Him...Learn to put all your Faith into Him. "Less of us, More of Him"
