Inspiration

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.  ~ Mother Theresa

 

 

 

This photo just speaks to my heart.  The connection between MT and that child, how soothing and joyful her look . . . what food for the soul. (I'm pretty sure it was special for the baby, too.)  I could stare into this photo for hours; it fills my heart. 

 

Mother Theresa resigned from her teaching job and devoted her life to serving the poorest of the poor at age 38.  For me, what is most inspiring about Mother Theresa is that she spent all of her adult life grieving the alienation she felt from her Lord.  At the age of 12, she felt a strong calling to missionary work.  All her life, she waited and pleaded for another moment of such grace, such connectedness with her God; that moment of grace never again came.  

 

She served in the darkest corners of this earth every day of her life, until she died at age 86. 

  

Pure faith.

The more I learn about Mother Theresa, and the more I see of her quotes, the more I admire her. What an amazing, humble and beautiful woman. She really reflects God's beauty. Thanks for sharing this. <3

What amazingly beautiful hands she had. I wish I had hands like that. Do you suppose that the baby felt those hands and knew that she was in the presents of someone on Holy Ground?
What an inspiration she was ....
