Mother Teresa


A few thoughts from someone I've always admired tremendously...

Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired.

Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.

It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.... Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.
Mother Teresa

Hello April!
This is Shannon from Izzie Grace Blogs. I must say, your boys are darling! And little Caleb is just about the cutest little thing I have ever seen :)
To answer your question about the background size, I upload all of mine to fit up to a 21-inch screen. If I upload them any smaller, there will be white along the edges on those who have larger computer screens (so while it may look good on your computer, it would look not-so-good on someone else's). Am I making any sense? Maybe there's a better way to be doing this, but this is the only way I know how!
Let me know if you have any more questions, or if you want a particular style of blog background. Thanks for your kind comments! :)

Shannon :)

Mother Teresa is one of my heros also. I have one of her quotes on my blog also, and one is going to be on my living room wall. She was such a humble and amazing person.
