From the Writings of St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
“Just begin
one at a time.
One, one, one.
If I had not picked up
that first person
dying on the street,
I would not
have picked up
the thousands
of others
later on.”
“What are these
drops of oil
in our lamps?
They are the little things
of everyday life:
fidelity, punctuality,
little words of kindness,
just a little thought
for others;
those little acts
of silence,
of look, and of thought,
of word, and of deed.
These are the very
drops of love
that make our life burn
with so much light.”
“God does not look
for big things --
he looks for
how much love
we put in the giving.”
