I'm primary chorister and often when I think about the children and how to teach them a song I feel such love for them.

I don't have children and that has been a stumbling block for me. When I was called as a Primary Teacher, I was really scared for want of a better description.<br /><br />I didn't want my feelings of disappointment or jealousy to inhibit me from seeking out a relationship with the kids. So my first class consisted of kids who were just as "broken" as I was. <br /><br />They came from families that weren't "perfect" and they carried those burdens and they suffered emotionally because of it. I had to pray for healing of my heart and compassion for their suffering. I strive to "search" their hearts so I can know what is the best way to reach them. I am not the huggy kissy teacher, but I feel like they can trust me, and they can talk to me as a person, not a parent, but as a person. So my heart can love them as they are without judgment. I do give out hugs as needed thoughRamona Gordyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03897052109437761869noreply@blogger.com
