We can do no great things, only small things with great love. Mother Teresa
I'm letting this sink in today as I look out over the week. Prayerfully, I am preparing my heart to spend my week in a way that can overflow with compassion for others. So often I am guilty of being self involved and not looking to help others near to me or far away. But this is an irony because God has given me a heart of compassion. One that is easily moved to tears at the pain of others suffering especially children. Too often I get caught up in my own little world (and by doing so I am keeping it little). This week I am challenging my habits and seeking to show love. I can't wait to share what opportunities to give of my time and resources come up as a result of being ready and available!
