    This one really hit me, Stefanie. I think it’s for 2 reasons: I have felt and known others who felt unloved and unwanted. Also, I have been wondering and praying about how God specifically wants me to help the poor. My goal in blogging is to bring Him to women just like the ones referred to in this quote. I know the physically poor are in great need, and I want to help there, but I think God has given me a heart for the brokenhearted….Thank you for this quote:) Blessings!

      Amen, Mandy! We’re so on the same wavelength :: the brokenhearted. Yes, the basic needs are necessary, but the need to be loved and cared for must not be overlooked. It is vital to our overall health.
      Thank you for sharing your heart!

    Mother Teresa has some amazing quotes. I read this one recently. It really touches the heart. I just got done recently reading about her life. One of my favorite quotes of hers in, “It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish”. — I think that’s right… Powerful stuff… beautiful photo as well. Have a wonderful day!

      Yes, she does! An amazing woman who not only shared profound truths but lived them, too. As I read the quote you cited, a chill consumed me. Wow!!
      Thank you! Have a wonderful day, too!!

    You’re dead on, Jamie! Investing takes time, something we tend to selfish with in our culture. I’m SO guilty of that!! I, too, long to have her attitude (the attitude of Christ) and the time to share, invest and love unconditionally.
    Have a great day!
