FOOD FOR THE SPIRIT (NEW BLOGGING CHALLENGE)

Day 8: If you could meet someone famous (dead or alive) who would it be?

Mother Teresa. I love this woman. She was such an incredible example of selfless, fearless service. I love her quotes too. They help me realign and refocus myself whenever I start thinking perhaps the world should rotate around me. Here's a sampling:

"If you judge a person, you have no time to love them."

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It never was between you and them anyway."

"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love."

"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin."

"Never travel faster than your guardian angel can fly."

"What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family."

"Spread the love of God throughout your life, but only use words if necessary."

"I do not pray for success. I ask for faithfulness."

"It is a kingly act to assist the fallen."

I cannot wait to meet this sweet, gracious, woman someday. Her quiet dignity truly inspires.
