Mother Teresa...

Mother Teresa once said, “If you judge people, you don’t have time to love them.” If we are quick to pass judgment on others, we forget that they, like us, are human beings. As we seldom know what roads people have traveled before a shared encounter or why they have come into our lives, we should always give those we meet the gift of an open heart. Doing so allows us to replace fear-based criticism with appreciation because we can then focus wholeheartedly on the spark of good that burns in all human souls. Mother Teresa was a noble person from Macedonia - that certainly had some impact on the world in more ways than one...

I think we all do judge people to some extent however I find that the less to be judged is the more to be enjoyed. And thank you for all those that have made posts or recent, it's nice to write back and forth in a meaningful and enjoyable manner.

  1. Mother Theresa was a very wise lady. I admire her heart of compassion and the effort that she took to reach out to the needy. We all have those in whom we can do some act of kindness for. One of her quotes that I like very much is "There are no great things only small things done with great love"
    Thank you for sharing this quote

  4. It's life Danni each person is different and I have come to learn things on a another level.
    She was and yet she saw the imperfections in things during her ending.
    Yet she was a tremendous human being.
