Life is...?

I've been reading a lot of Mother Teresa's writing recently. I purchased a copy of Mother Teresa: No Greater Love at a second-hand bookshop, and although I didn't expect to, I love this book. I am only part way through it and already have so much underlined. The text above came from a greeting card I received for my birthday. If you'd like to read something a little deeper, from her book, you can find it at my other blog here

And this is from the back cover:

What we need is to love without getting tired.

How does a lamp burn?

Through the continuous input of small drops of oil.

What are these drops of oil in our lamps?

They are the small things of daily life:

faithfulness

small words of kindness

a thought for others

our way of being silent

of looking

of speaking

and of acting.

Do not look for Jesus away from yourselves.

He is not out there;

He is in you.

Keep your lamp burning,

and you will recognize Him.
