Love Letters

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God sending a love letter to the world. -- Mother Teresa


What a wonderful sentiment! What love have I written today? Smiling at someone, acting out of patience, believing the best in someone's actions rather than the worst. What can I do to step outside my own desires and wants and into the good for someone else? It is getting harder and harder to maintain this core of service. Maintenance of the soul rarely is defined by serving fellow sisters and brothers. In order to take care of ourselves we are told to put ourselves first. How can we learn to do both?

  1. maybe you're already doing it.

    it's a circle...
    you are fed
    you feed others
    you are fed you feed others you are fed...

    to give light to others,
    you yourself need to feel a light inside.

    i see joy and hope and promise in your work!
    maybe you're already there.

    peace, Chuck
