Mother Teresa 100 Years Old

Mother Teresa would have been 100 years old today. Although I am not Catholic, I believe what she stood for was something that crosses boundaries of religion, sex, age, and time. Her philosophy was backed by her actions. She was an amazing woman who did great things with little money and vast amounts of love.

“It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home, for this is where our love for each other must start” – Mother Teresa

The most important service we will ever do is towards those in our own home. When we serve others we always think of those outside of our home but this is not where change starts. It starts small with little acts of kindness and love towards our spouse, our children, our family. These sometimes tiny acts create ripples of greater love and acceptance.


“Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world” – Mother Teresa

The responsibility we have for our family can get lost with the hustle and bustle of the world. We tend to worry about the thoughts of friends in society, losing our family in the process. When we create a family, they need our greatest love. They deserve the best, when usually we give them the left overs.

I challenge you to make a small unexpected act of love and kindness towards those closest to you. It can make all the difference to them and will fill your heart. Mother Teresa symbolizes the act of love, selflessness, and faith. We have much to thank her for. Let us start showing our gratitude by making a small change.
Love to you all!
