I agree with you that love can definetely change people, especially those who might feel unwanted, unloved, lonely, etc.<br />I am so glad to have found you in Blogland. You are a great inspiration for many readers, Sarah.

You are giving HOPE just by being there. You are a walking - talking - breathing - praising testimony. <br /><br />I loved the quote at the beginning. Powerfully rich....<br /><br />"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love. The greatest disease is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. The only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love" <br />Mother Teresa"<br /><br />You are loving them...by your presence... your listening ear...your tender heart shine into their darkness with that lost ray of HOPE. It's like a spark... that ignites a blazing fire. I pray that your presence lights up the room when you enter their darkness...because of the HOPE of Jesus within you. His LIGHT goes with you...wherever you go. Stand tall...stand sturdy...stand brightly. You carry the only LIGHT that can permanently shatter their darkness! Continue, my friend...to go in HIS LOVE for them ...and He will do the rest! <br /><br />Blessings to you, dear soul<br />Patrina <")>>< Patrinas Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103800317102189590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-75861327634108331922012-09-15T18:23:33.845-07:002012-09-15T18:23:33.845-07:00What a wonderful ministry you have!
