Contentment At Work

As I was doing today's devotion on Willing To share, I realized that I am beginning to experience the new meaning of contentment this year. With such an attitude, things look brighter to me and I have more joy.

True, I feel very tired these 2 days after my work 'cos I stayed back late at work even after the centre is closed. I took my lunch only at about 4.30 p.m. today... very hungry, yet I am happy and contented..

I am happy that I have a chance to 'polish' my skills in handling children, besides the administrative aspects of work. A new 3-year-old child (hyperactive one) who just joined us today seems to like me alot. :) When his parents were gone after registering him, he refused to follow the rest of the teachers, except me. I managed to make him listen to me, seated him near me, conversing with him, while I did my admin work in a hurry. I guess my love with firmness is what draws the little boy to me, as I came down to his level. I felt a sense of achievement. Thank God!

It's nice to talk and play with young children again. I hope to pass on my skills and knowledge to the teachers soon when I have a chance to go into the classes... hopefully next week.
