7)THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER : The job of a Sunday School teacher is unpaid,It is a a voluntary, rewarding duty resulting from higher calling. 1Cori1:26-29. If the teacher is happy with a smile children will like the teacher perhaps more than even their own parents. There was a good child specialist in Chennai. When my son was small we used to take him for treatment for primary complex. Seeing the doctors unfriendly face my son began to cry aloud. Hearing this, the doctor covered his ears and went away. Would you call him a him good child specialist? Perhaps he could have patted the child, offered a treat such as some sweetsor just a smile. We teachers must have a heart for these children. Who will reward our hard work? The answer is our Good Lord. How? These children will be blessed through your sincere contribution. Read Mat 25:40.Our character must be approachable and we must be friendly, always ready with a smile.
