Remember the Small Things: Story about Mother Teresa

Hi again!

it's tierre.

this is a super important story about a Disciple Scholar Hero that's a total must read:

Some of my sisters work in Australia. On a reservation, among the Aborigines, there was an elderly man. I can assure you that you have never seen a situation as difficult as that poor old man's. He was completely ignored by everyone. His home was disordered and dirty. 

I told him, "Please, let me clean your house, wash your clothes, adn make your bed." He answered, "I'm okay like this. Let it be."

I said again, "You will be still better if you allow me to do it."

He finally agreed. So I was able to clean his house adn wash his clothes. I discovered a beautiful lamp, covered with dust. Only God knows how many years had passed since he last lit it.

I said to him, "Don't you light your lamp? Don't you ever use it?"

He answered,  "No. No one comes to see me. I have no need to light it. Who would I light it for?"

I asked, "Would you light it every night if the sisters came?"

He replied, "Of course."

From that day on the Sisters committed themselves to visiting him every evening. We cleaned the lamp, and the sisters would light it every evening.

Two years passed. I had completely forgotten that man. He sent this message: "Tell my friend that the light she lit in my life continues to shine still."

I thought it was a very small thing. We often neglect small things. 

I hope that it meant as much to you as it did to me. 

She is a true DS Hero.

I think that everyone should focus on the importance of her life and know that you could make that kind of difference too.

Maybe you should.

Maybe if everyone tried to make a difference, in just one person's life, we would have a new kind of world. 

A better world.

I hope that everyone can try this.

This is another thing you should recognize... the light from the story can be viewed as the gospel.

The gospel needs to be shared too.

It's been tierre.
