since starting my book on mother teresa, i have been challenged by her undying love and unwavering faith in god. her willingness to give up everything including herself for the sake of the gospel in just plain inspiring. at the start of each chapter there are little quotes by mother teresa and i thought this one was really good.
"if only one little unhappy child is made happy with the love of jesus,...will it not be worth...giving all for that?"
this quote really spoke to me about for the last 10 months my wife and i have been raising our 2 year old niece. mother teresa is exactly right it is worth all you give just to see them happy, i know for us it does. just to hear her laugh puts a joy in our hearts i'm not sure either of us have ever felt. i think it's all about getting yourself out of your comfort zone to help people, because like the scripture says in matthew 25:40 "and the king will tell them, i assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me."
peace...........
