Love Them Anyway

It has been kindly (well not really) pointed out to me that I have not written a blog post in months now.  I apologize to my fan base for being otherwise occupied.  (I didn’t know you cared!)In thinking about the blog I had all but decided to make it a New Year’s Resolution to write a weekly post.  I was all set to start in January but then I came across this great quote that I want to share. 

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self centered.  Forgive them anyway.  If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.  If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.  Be honest and frank anyway.  What you spend years building someone could destroy overnight.  Build anyway.  The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.  Do good anyway.  Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.  Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.  You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway.” (Love Them Anyway - Mother Teresa) 

It is true.  It is between you and God.  What a great Ben-e-diction.  What a great way to go forth into the world.  What a great way to live.  May we seek to live this truth today and everyday.  Amen
