The Feeling Of Fulfillment

[Antonette B. Cabatac]

This morning I feel fulfilled. Both my husband and I went to the hospital to visit one of my 4 year old pupil who was accidentally been ran down by a car. Thank God, she was now safe amindst the bruises and a large wound in her knee cap which was operated last night. The news came to me only this morning and because of that we have to cancel my class picture taking sessions for our moving up ceremony come this March 20. The mother told me that this morning her daughter kept on urging her that she go to school for her pictorial! Though I saw her smile when she saw us enter her room, I could still feel the pain she had suffered from the accident and felt sorry not only for her but to her mom the most. I have no child of my own but at that moment, I could feel what she feels. Most especially at this time because their family has suffered a lot these past few weeks and we both knew about it because the mother shared to us their problems. They are not christian family and we are still witnessing to them and currently invites them to go to church.
I've been teaching for almost 16 years now and this is the first time that I have been close to the family of my pupil. Feelings of fullfilment flooded our hearts as we prayed with the family. I could see and feel their need for God. Gladness is what I felt because God have used us, our pastor, our church, my husband and I, to minister to that family. Not only did I teach the child the basic colors, numbers and alphabets, but I have been an instrument of God's grace to that family. That is to share to them the Gospel of Christ.
Well, goodbye for now and please do includes us in your prayers. Especially the family that we are winning for Christ!
