When you look at Mother Teresa's life she gave her ALL to loving, caring and mothering the poorest of poor on the streets of India. She never had natural children of her own, but she revealed the Father & Mother heart of God to so many. Mother Theresa developed a life of Lasting ImpACT.. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say, God developed a life of lasting impact in and through Mother Teresa for the benefit of many due to her willingness to ACT on His direction.
“ We can't ALL do Great Things, but we can ALL do Small Things with Great Love.” Mother Teresa
