***A quote for tonight***
We can do no great things.

Only small things with great love.


~~Mother Teresa


I saw this in my paper the other day, and it impressed me...

I wanted to share it with all of you...

6. One of my favorites of her’s is...
It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.
Mother Teresa

15. what a beautiful quote
she was a really good woman.

Here is another one by this wise lady-

“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”
Mother Theresa
