My Favourite Primary School Teacher

Today I had a pleasant surprise when my primary school teacher, Ms Yeo, sms me this morning. She said that she is acting in a show on Channel 5, Behind Closed Doors, and told me to watch her act tonight. It has been around 18 years since I left my now-dysfunction Guillemard Primary School.

In the show, she acted as an old woman who was abused by her own daughter! (I feel like killing the daughter who tortured her in the show.. haha) As I showed the show, suddenly past memories of my primary school days flashed through my mind..

Still remember how she encouraged me when I was down and helped me so much in my PSLE. (I got 2 A stars thanks to her after-school tuitions..) She even teached me how to chase girls when I grow older & taught me good manners & social equiette which is out of the normal teaching curriculum. She is really knowledgable & taught us 5 subjects then - English, Maths, Science, Arts & Music.

The best moment was when she selected me to be the lead actor in my school farewell performance, beating those boys who were more handsome & eloquent than me.. Nevertheless, I acted as Prince Charming and gave an outstanding performance. After I left school, I lost contact with her for almost 10 years until I saw her in my friends' kids school year book. I went to find her in the school and since then, I kept in contact with her until now..

Ms Yeo will remain as the best teacher I ever had in my life, for teaching me & giving me confidence.. Concindentally, she is also a Christian & I can really sense the love of God in her life.. Thanks Ms Yeo.. for your encouragement & guidance! (like giving a Teachers' Day thank-you speech.. Haha)

Memorial offering

I was really blessed by the Book of Leviticus, it says that the priest burns the sacrifice as a memorial offering on the altar. Sometimes, we think by giving a breakthrough offering, God will bless us immediately the next week or within that month. However, when we did not get our instant breakthrough, we tend to be discouraged and begin to lose faith in giving.

But this verse encourages us that by giving a memorial offering to the Lord, God remembers our offering and keeps in his mind. The breakthrough may not be instant, but as we keep giving to God (sacrifice), mixed with our faith (fire), God remembers our offering as a sweet aroma to heaven and blesses us back 30, 60 & 100 fold return, according to our faith!

Woo.. God remembers our offerings!
