Reduce Reuse Recycle

So…I’m looking around. I’ve been praying hard the last couple days- mostly just “HELP!” cries to God for my hormones and stress, but still, I am feeling calmer and blessed today. Intrinsically I know this all the time, but there are certain moments when you get caught up in yourself and it is harder to realize.

As I look around I see a lot of stuff. My books are my prize possessions, but clothing, lotions, earrings, they are all lying around in superflous amounts. I need to share! Just a reminder to pull all of your stuff together and give it to someone who needs it! Sometimes staying in your own little bubble prohibits this, and honestly pregnancy makes that all the more easy. But, this week has taught me to look past myself and see the bigger things (i.e. not always me!). Okay not ever me. So, give it away. This is going to be one of my little projects over the next two weeks. I usually give to Partners Against Domestic Violence or Salvation Army, but I might just post it or give it to some lovely ladies that give me a shout out. Whoever you give it to, don’t hoard, let a little air in your house! Anyone have any fave organizations to give to?

Mother Teresa Says (Mondays)…

It seems that everyone around me is getting the message. What’s the message? Well, we are. It’s strange, I imagine Jesus is somewhere saying “Finally people are getting it.” I admit it seems about time. For the longest it seems that some people wanted to rise on their own airs of religion, thinking that perhaps this gave them some entitlement that was shielded from others.

But now, everywhere I turn and with many, the message seems to be give. We are supposed to be the givers, we are supposed to be the light. Give it away, share, love, smile. Live like it’s not your world, but it’s everyone. Pay attention to what you spend and the corporations you are giving your money to. Hold others responsible when you see people being wronged. Set the example yourself. Many years ago, before a lot of us started to get the point and perhaps try to wrench ourselves out of our own selfishness, praying for God’s guidance and the courage to be love to everyone, Mother Teresa spoke these words. The message, you see, has been around for many years. Perhaps now more of us are listening. Amen? Amen.

You and I, we are the Church, no? We have to share with our people. Suffering today is because people are hoarding, not giving, not sharing.
Jesus made it very clear. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me.
Give a glass of water, you give it to me. Receive a little
child, you receive me.
