After years of experience, Brenda was faced with a challenge in Sunday
School. However, she just didn’t know how to 16
it in a good way. She had never been asked to teach a child quite
like Cindy!
Cindy, you see, was different. She came from a broken home. And although
she was really 17 , she thought she was so bad that
she could not be successful. In fact, Cindy needed 18 , and most of all, Cindy needed
love! There just had to be a way of
19 her. Day after day,
Brenda would pray for Cindy, yet Sunday would come and go and she saw little,
if any change.
Then one day Brenda asked Cindy if she could 20 a role in a Christmas programme the children were planning to do. Cindy’s answer
was, “Don’t you think you can find someone better than me?”
“Better than you?” came Brenda’s
21 . “What makes you
think there is 22 better than you?”
“Well, I’ve 23 been asked to do anything before
because I’m not good. I won’t get the part right and then everyone will be mad
at me for messing up (弄糟) their 24 .” came Cindy’s answer.
“Oh, Cindy,” said Brenda in a
25 voice. “I am so 26
that you think that, but you are so wrong. Don’t you realize how clever
you are?”
“No.” 27 a reply in a low voice because
Cindy was now in 28 .
“But Cindy, in my eyes, you are special and you can also do something
well like others.” Brenda said.
“Really? Do you think so really? Nobody has believed in me like you. Thank
you, Miss Brenda! 29 I’ll have a try.” said Cindy as she 30 a hug from her teacher for the
first time!
