in my small little part of the world,we are bracing for the first real major winter storm of the year. the weathermen are saying you could see anywhere from 4-8 ins. of snow by the time it ends sometime tomorrow. so if you are like me and are going to be home bound for a day or two, you will have plenty of time for reading and blogging. so here's an exert from the book i've been reading about mother teresa..........
"why must we give ourselves fully to god? because god has given himself to us. if god owes nothing to us is ready to impart to us no less than himself, shall we answer with just a fraction of ourselves? to give ourselves fully to god is a means of receiving god himself. i for god and god for me. i live for god and give up my own self, and in this way induce god to live for me. therefore to possess god we must allow him to possess our souls."
this book has been quite challenging because mother teresa was just wanted to do god's will in her life no matter what it might cost her. it really makes you stop and think about your own commitment to god in your own life.
peace........
