Today’s quote is from Mother Teresa. I believe I was exposed to this quote in my undergraduate studies in a church history class. If I had to pick someone to model my life after, Mother Teresa would be at the top of the list. She spent her life serving the poor, sick, and marginalized. I would recommend looking up some of her other quotes, especially if you are a religious person. They are little nuggets of wisdom, like this one:

Y’all, I absolutely love this quote from Mother Teresa. Because of my personality and values, it is important to me to share love, kindness, and hope with others. On a daily basis, we may not be able to extravagant acts of kindness or service, but we can “do small things with great love”. As I have entered the adult world, I have begun to realize how small my human life is. When I think about how big the world is and how many people are suffering, I become overwhelmed with the thought that my efforts to help alleviate that suffering are not even making a dent. However, you can make a difference in the lives of those you interact with on a daily basis-family, friends, colleagues, co-workers, etc. All it takes is a loving heart and a willingness to show love in little ways. I think little daily acts of kindness do the soul good and add a level of meaning and purpose to life. Quite a while ago, I wrote about Making a Difference in the World. You can check out that post to get some ideas of small things you can do with great love.
I hope this quote inspires you today!
