Mother Teresa

After watching the movie on Mother Teresa, I was left in awe. It is crazy how she devoted her whole entire life to helping and caring for those far less fortune than she is. While aiding the poorest of the poor, Mother Teresa forbade fundraising and relied solely on "divine providence". This meant that Mother Teresa did not ask for money or government aid to assist her. Following Jesus' footsteps, she only relied on the hard work and help from people wanting to contribute. In addition, Mother Teresa forbade others to ask for money in her name or for her cause. Mother Teresa just asked for people to give their time, energy and skills to help those in need. Because Mother Teresa did not ask for any money, she was never exactly sure how she was going to be able to help the people she sought to assist. However, she was never worried because she had faith that God was going to provide. One of my favorite quotes by Mother Teresa is, "If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one person who has nothing to eat." A lot the time people think that since they are only one person, they cannot make a difference. However, I agree with Mother Teresa in that any contribution to help someone, even if it is one person, is never too small. You are making a difference in at least one person's life and to me, that makes it worth doing.
