Teachers

Here is an insightful incident from the life of Albert Einstein. He was just an average student in his school days. One day his teacher wrote a letter to his mother, suggesting to change his school, because he could not study well. Einstein's mother Pauline read the letter. But never let his son down with the discouraging words of the teacher. Pauline was so caring, kind and loving. So, with all her love she nurtured and brought up her son and he became a scientist. 

I feel, in today’s society, if there are more Paulines, surely there will be more Albert Einsteins. The teachers need to adopt Pauline's compassion in moulding and shaping our children. In the Bible we read, we are like clay in the hands of God, the potter. He will mould us into his likeness." 

Most of us are going to be the teachers of tomorrow. And As we have read this Bible verse in relation to the teachers here, the children that God entrusts us will be the clay placed in our hands. We will be entrusted with the holy task of molding them with due care into beautiful forms because they are the promises of tomorrow. Like Pauline, the mother of Albert Einstein, let us mould our children with, compassion, care and love.
