Small things...great love


One of the things I have been struggling with is that I am just not doing enough for the world, that I am not leaving a big enough legacy behind, doing enough to show God's love, to share my blessings with a world in such desperate need of His love.

So this saying of Mother Teresa is my favorite: “In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.”
