Mother Teresa says (Mondays)…
Mother Teresa is a great figure, someone to be respected and admired for all that she did and the faith she held in Jesus Christ. As I was looking through quotes, wanting to choose one for this week, I was touched but also thought, “No, not today, no, again not today,” when I was reading through them. The poverty of so many in this world is obvious at this moment, and I think attention needs to be brought and love needs to be heeded, but today I felt something different in my heart. Then, there it was, the last quote I came to. Something that has been echoed in several situations the past few weeks in my life. A more direct look at perhaps what the phrase from our mothers and teachers meant when they said that if you do not have anything nice to say, simply say nothing at all. These words affected me, and made me think. The words are self explanatory and simple, but profound.
Words that do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness.
Umm, do I ever speak words that do not give the light of Christ?
All the time?
Every day?
Is it out of my love for Him, or love for self? I think I know, but I don’t like the answer.
So, then, encourage one another and build each other up. -1 Thessalonians 5:11
Even my question now…umm, Who EXACTLY does that include God? I need a lot of work, but it’s a good thing God is there to help me. I don’t have to, nor can I, do anything worth doing alone.

About Mother Theresa – I loved that lady ! Thank you for giving her a special place in your blog. She died a week after Princess Diana. What a big difference she made in the world !
Pray that God will make your influence just as special. PK and divorce, as painful as they may be, will be just a shadow in the past. God can heal even the deepest wounds and take the pain away. He certainly did it for me ! With sympathy, Angela
Thank you so much Angela! I do know this, and thanks for the reminder. I love Mother Teresa as well, a very cool woman and great inspiration!
