The Teacher's Legacy
We commend ourselves as ministers of God . . . by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love. -2 Corinthians 6:4,6
|
 Pastor Paul Walker shared this story of his salvation experience: "During my lifetime I was instructed by many different Sunday school teachers, but only one stands out in my memory. He was a big, red-faced ex-Marine, who probably broke every rule and technique of good teaching. The thing I remember best about him is how much he loved us. . . .
"At the end of each session he would say, 'Boys, let's take time to kneel and talk to the Lord.' Then he would try to put his big arms around all nine of us as we huddled together, and he would pray for each of us by name. Are you surprised that seven of those boys are now in the ministry, and that I am one of them?" If you have a Sunday school class, small group, or some other teaching responsibility, do you take a warm, personal interest in your students? The apostle Paul said he commended himself as a minister of God "by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love" (2 Corinthians 6:6). The exact methods employed by the one who taught Paul Walker do not need to be duplicated, but the earnest attention he gave and the spiritual concern he showed toward each pupil is a beautiful example of the importance of teaching by love. -Henry Bosch
A Sunday school teacher, I don't know his name,
Was a wonderful person who never found fame;
Yet he shaped my whole life far more than he knew,
For his loving example has helped me be true. -Anon.
To love to teach is one thing-to love those you teach is quite another.

Are those budgies or parakeets? Must be the latter. I read some place there was a budgies deficit in this country.

Spring Karla Kuskin I'm shouting I'm singing I'm swinging through trees I'm winging sky-high With the buzzing black bees. I'm the sun I'm the moon I'm the dew on the rose. I'm a rabbit Whose habit Is twitching his nose. I'm lively I'm lovely I'm kicking my heels. I'm crying "Come dance" To the freshwater eels. I'm racing through meadows Without any coat I'm a gamboling lamb I'm a light leaping goat I'm a bud I'm a bloom I'm a dove on the wing. I'm running on rofftops And welcoming spring!
