| "Spot the Difference". Mingled with children, you won,t recognize Ma'am Ching. Being with children makes you also feel like one so she won't never get old, daw?(Ma'am Ching was at the middle.) |
“I may not be the wealthiest person in the world or the most
beautiful woman in the universe but GOD made me the happiest person on earth
today for I am here now . . . celebrating the 7th Christmas Party
with my Children of God.”ma'am ching
“Who cares with this line?” . . . it’s a premise that
anybody could say but for us here in Leon A. Garcia Sr. Elementary School, it
was a powerful confirmation that God had listened to our prayers for Ma’am
Ching’s health. We know that Ma’am Ching was seriously ill last June during her
“Welcome Back to School” spree. She could barely walk, and if she talked, she
would catch her breath just to finish a line.
And today, we saw an exhilarating “Ma’am Ching”. She was full of energy
and she was back on her health. As usual, she prepared her specialties which we
were sure could make a “history” to all her Children of God. . . “Ummm yummy
spaghetti” . . . “More spaghetti please”. . .
or “Pwede pa mangayo, ma’am?”.
And there’s more, the give-aways! So cute! Cuddly stuffed toys! Plus red
apples, breads and candies (courtesy of LAGES teachers. . Thank you mga Ma’am
and Sir). Almost everything, a child of God could wish to bring home after the
party. The new members of Children of God (Grade 10) got their Child of God
T-shirts.

The party started at around eleven o’clock. A short program
was prepared and was emceed by Ma’am Marisa C. Caturza. The Children of God
rendered the Doxology, community dance number and community singing “Joy to the
World”. On the later part, the Children of God prepared their colorful hearts
which they gave to Ma’am Ching in exchange for untiring kindness to them. Each
Child of God wrote on their hearts their wishes for Ma’am Ching. Ma’am Ching
was touched for she knew that these children could not give anything to her.
She promised to keep the hearts. Then, she was surprised by the “Kapamilya Mas
Winner Ka” hosts Ms. Redge Ledesma and Mr. Stven Suave who gave her surprises
such as groceries and school supplies for her Children of God.

She wished to give more than what she had prepared today but
she had limited finances due to her medication.
As always, we knew that Ma’am Ching never wanted to leave her Children
of God Advocacy. She always told me that she wanted someone to take over this
advocacy, and it could be her previous group of students but it seems that
nobody took her place as the “Servant of God”. And she would conclude then
“Siguro isa ni sa mga rason why gibuhi pako ni Lord, for who would take care of
these children?” Ma’am Ching really find great joy everytime she sees a smile
when she gives something to her Children of God. And though her presence with
us this year could only be counted (twice visits) but those moments have marked
a difference, especially to her Children of God. One was during the time when
she was sick, and then this December, which we witnessed a great miracle of
Medicine and of God of course for bringing back the “Happiest Ma’am Ching” with
us.(miiraellevera12/13)
