"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." 
Mother Teresa 

I think Mother Theresa was communicating two very important messages in this quote. First, what we might consider "small" can have a HUGE impact and also, every person has value. EVERY person counts. EVERY action counts. 

Mother Theresa is a holy person. She spent her life saving the abandoned, diseased and elderly dying in Calcutta everyday. She dedicated her life to this because she said "that each one of these individuals needed to be loved, not because they are poor, but because they are people. The rich need love too." When you think about it, her collective work had such a positive impact on the world but what I think was more important was her desire to have a positive impact on the lives of each person she met. Her life's work reminds us of the value of each person. We must recognize that our interactions with every person have a bigger impact than we'll ever know. 

Remember when Matthew tells us that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains.

Sometimes the smallest things in life make the biggest difference. Start with focusing on making small changes with YOU everyday. Try and smile more. Try and say thank you. Waive hello to a stranger. Give 1 hour of your time to a local charity. Spend 1 minute in silence, meditating on your relationship with God. These are all small things that can make a huge difference. 

God bless and enjoy your weekend.
