Mother Teresa says (Mondays)…
Simple and true….
It is not how much we do,
but how much love we put in the doing.
It is not how much we give,
but how much love we put in the giving.
Sometimes we burn ourselves out thinking of all we must do and trying to care and do ALL things right (at least I do). Then I realize in concerning myself so much with all the things I lose myself or the love I am putting into what I am doing along the way. You start looking at the days as something you have to get through. Not an opportunity to live out the love of Jesus. So DO…but don’t forget why. And if you need to take a little rest for yourself to regroup and feel that love so you can give it. Don’t feel bad, that is why God invented Sabbath (and maybe even massages).
So far this is one of my biggest travesties in life. Because I have learned big from the down times….but when everything is going right and I get stuck in just that, having everything go right, I start to lose the reason behind it all….
Oh Father, save me from myself. You know I need it!

Wow, love this… I think it sort of relates to what I just posted about. I think we need to get off the performance bandwagon of worrying about how much we do and see things as Jesus would see them, the opportunities in the small things we do.
Hehe, you did just write about that! And I just read, and commented there btw, but wanted to say still praying for you and def cannot wait to show you pics. Also, on this note, Jesus, who could have been, did not even choose to be everywhere at once, he traveled and stayed fairly busy of course, but did not even start that until he was 30! Maybe we should take a hint. Lol.
