Random Thoughts

So much has happened lately. I have been so busy at work and home.

Work
--> Term 3 is just over. It was really a challenge trying to prepare the kids because of the standards that they are at. With their family backgrounds, home support tend to be lacking. Most of them are not motivated, although we often see sparks of interest and curiosity now and then. I enjoy my work although some people would classify us more of administrative clerks. I see that everything I do contributes in one way or another to the smooth experience of these children in school.

--> What really touched me was the innocence of the children. On Teachers' day, the naughtiest kids are the ones who give you the biggest and most presents. ( It is sad because you know that you are the one who is giving them more attention.) I have a boy who baked cup cakes for me. Although I ended up with a little bit of stomach upset, I still appreciate the thought which came from the heart. I simply hope that they will do something good with their lives as they grow up. I simply pray that they will soon find meaning and learn to be independent. I pray that they will be happy.

Home
--> At home, we are trying to get used to some changes in our lifestyle. Now that we have gotten ourselves a car, our sleeping hours are adjusted so as to fit the different working hours of our very different occupations. This is challenging. But at the same time, we have the convenience of going to places quite easily, albeit the occassional traffic jams and human congestion.

Dear Lord,

Please help me as I learn to juggle the different committments and obligations which I have. Teach me to do the right things and to be able to discern right from wrong as I seek peace and justice. Please forgive me for the times I have not opened my ears, eyes and heart to your words. Please continue to show me the way.

Thank you Lord, for hearing my prayer.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
