Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be
humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless --that's your job, to bless. You'll be a blessing and also get a blessing.
Many of the patients at the eye camp had surgery to correct blindness. As their bandages were removed and the light fell upon their eyes, illuminating the world in front of them for the first time in several years, one had the experience of being drawn deep into their souls by the depth of gratitude that shone there.Wendy Denning,Darshan #116 at 30.
Mother Teresa received God's call to serve the poorest of the poor in 1946 and began, in a small way, by caring for one sick and dying person whom she found on the streets of Calcutta. Lucinda Vardey, A Simple Path: Mother Teresa, at xix.
On this earth, nature is the most beautiful and fascinating blessing of all. No other planet has what earth has. The earth is given to man by God on a tray of gold, the dawn. The birds awake and sing. The light of the sun very gently spreads throughout the sky, issuing soft colors to the amosphere. The sun rises very slowly with the brightest smile ever. It gives warmth. What a blessing! It makes everything grow. What a blessing! It is an inspiration. The sun is so bright, so revealing, yet it holds the secret of the universe. What a blessing!Gurumayi Chidvilasananda,Darshan #116 at 60.
