Wise Words from Mother Teresa – Quote of the Week

November 17, 2012 By Jean Wise

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.

But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. 

I do not agree with the big way of doing things.

 To us what matters is an individual. To get to love the person we must come in close contact with him.

If we wait till we get the numbers, then we will be lost in the numbers.

– Mother Teresa

    Dear Jean, thank you for these words. Thank you for your heart for reaching out, for being such loving, beautiful support. I love how you go forward, with Jesus, trusting that what we do is always a potential love letter with God. Bless you this weekend, friend.
