my Mom, the newest addition to our Home

Hope you cherish the ones you love today! Don’t take them for granted! Happy Valentine’s Day! My focus is on Unconditional Love today…

Mother Teresa’s love quotes and famous sayings. 

1. The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

2. We can do no great things; only small things with great love.

3. The greatest science in the world; in heaven and on earth; is love.

4. It is not how much you do, but how much Love you put into the doing that matters.

5. Love is repaid by love alone!

6. I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.

7. If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

8. Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home. Give love to your children, to a wife or husband, to a next-door neighbor.

9. Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand.

10. Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other–it doesn’t matter who it is– and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other.

11. Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

12. Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

13. What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.

14. If you think well of others, you will also speak well of others and to others. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. If your heart is full of love, you will speak of love.

15. It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

16. Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

17. It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.

18. Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.

19. Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.

Mother Teresa

All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
(The crowd)
Try as they may
They could never define
What’s been said
Between your
Heart and mine

Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: People who truly loved once are far more likely to love again. Sam, do you think there’s someone out there you could love as much as your wife?

Sam Baldwin: Well, Dr. Marcia Fieldstone, that’s hard to imagine.

Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: What are you going to do?

Sam Baldwin: Well, I’m gonna get out of bed every morning… breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won’t have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out… and, then after a while, I won’t have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife?

 
Sam Baldwin: Well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together… and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home… only to no home I’d ever known… I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and I knew. It was like… magic

I first “fell in love” with this song in the movie: Ramona and Beezus. It’s a great family movie. I will watch it again and again.
