I was guest at a Fort Dodge church on Sunday, as I visited a long-time friend and former Clarion resident.

The legacy of Mother Teresa lives on, as the pastor mentioned her in his sermon:

"We are called to be but a small pencil in the hand of God;

writing a love letter to the world."

*

The quote brought me back to a perpetual flip calendar which I hadn't looked at for a couple of months. Here are several of her words taken from "Heart of Joy":

"Christ must be the light that shines through you,

and the people looking at you must see only Jesus.

You have a challenge from Jesus to meet:

He has shed the light, and you will take the light

and lighten every heart you meet."

*

"We should give thanks to God for what He has done in us,

with us,

and through us.

We should thank Him for using us to be His love and mercy."
