I'm feeling kinda down today. I guess I'm affected by the fact that the term is coming to an end this Thursday.

One of my girl is flying off to Taiwan tomorrow morning, so I spent some time to make her a little card and drop her a little note this afternoon. She's my latest addition to the class and although I've only taught her for about less than two months, I really would miss her. Remembered our first meeting, where she looked so shy and afraid. Now, she has changed so much and found her sense of belonging in this class. Academically, she did well too. :P

Last Friday, she gave me a gift and it was then that I realised that she's a christian too. That gift was a windchime and it has the word 'Jesus is Our Peace' engraved on it. It was a word in my season. It also produces a very nice sound compared to the other windchimes I had. I am so touched by how God uses different people to touch my life.

I was so amazed by what they all did today. They also presented their cards to her and she was so moved. Actually, it's really going to be tough on them as next year they will all be streamed into different classes. I could sense their sadness and I too feel sad that they will not be under my care anymore.

Times when they attempt their work, I would sit by my table and stare at each and every individual one of them. I also ponder what they will become when they grow up. But what touched my heart as I stared at them was the simplicity of their heart.

Many a times, my walk is tough but yet it's these little ones who kept me smiling...
