When my grandmother passed away this summer, I spent a night at her house with my mom and her sisters. While they cleaned out her house, I helped...but I found myself in the recliner with her Bible.
I spent HOURS reading her little notes and comments.
I even took a few pictures to save for reference.
It was so AWESOME.
She not only took notes, but she dated her comments and wrote where her mind changed or she saw a different perspective...it was quite inspiring!
Today I pulled out one of the books I snagged from her house and found this little card inside...
(I'm pretty sure she typed this up on her own after gathering the tidbits)
"Jesus said the greatest commandment is:
Love the Lord, your God with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself.
MOTHER TERESA'S BUSINESS CARD
The fruit of silence is

The fruit of prayer is
FAITH
The fruit of prayer is
LOVE
The fruit of faith is
SERVICE
The fruit of service is
PEACE
Florence Nightingale said:
'Draw near to God, not by rites and ceremonies but by inward disposition...simply do the thing that is good in itself.'"
Just some thoughts for this rainy, cold Monday!
