Special gifts at the English Class

I received 2 presents from my students today. I thought it was really sweet of them to get us, the teachers and tutors, something for Christmas. I mean, I volunteer at the class purely out of my enjoyment to teach and share my knowledge with others. It is my main form of community service and ministry, for I derive much satisfaction and joy from helping out at the class. It is a special class, because even though all of us operate on a working relationship, there is still a sense of warmth and sincerity involved. I guess these are the things that ultimately matter. I have received much from helping out at this class; many unexpected good things. I guess this is what people term as unmerited favours from God - grace
