"I belong to you. You can do whatever you like."

I read this today shortly after I found out that our family will begin a season of life that will be very difficult. I am constantly reminding my children, it is not WHAT happens to us, but HOW we respond that is important.

We are at Jesus' disposal. If he wants you to be sick in bed, if he wants you to proclaim His work in the street, if he wants you to clean the toilets all day, that's all right, everything is all right. We must say, "I belong to you. You can do whatever you like." And this is our strength. This is the joy of the Lord. ~ Mother Teresa


May God be glorified!
