I have been going through a lot, emotionally, in the past 5 months. I have struggled with a lot of issues and had to fight a lot of battles. I bought a plaque of few years ago with words written by Mother Teresa and haven't re-read it in probably a year. It hangs on our family room wall. Today I glanced over and decided to re-read it. Wow! Never in my life have I experienced EVERY single statement she gives. It immediately brought tears to my eyes and peace to my soul. Thank you Mother Teresa!
People are often unreasonable and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.
The good that you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be good enough.
Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
It never was between you and them anyway.

I've seen that in your house a thousand times and never really stopped to think about what it says...That is very inspiring! And SO TRUE! People are going to kick you while you are at your lowest and sometimes there is no where but up and then somehow you find yourself lower and lower, but it's things like this that let you know that you can conquer anything! These past 5 months have truly been such a trial for you! I love you and pray for you everyday!!!!
WOW...Beautifully said! Thanks for sharing!
