Handing Out Daily Bread

"Make us worthy, Lord, to serve those people throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger. Give them through our hands, this day, their daily bread, and by our understanding love, give them peace and joy." ~ Mother Teresa

I spent the day cooking for a youth retreat. I am now finishing up two weeks worth of laundry late at night. I want to serve You, Lord, but at the same time, I need to get control of my life so I can do so with peace and joy.

I am pretty tired right now. What I appreciate though as I soon head to bed and reflect on my day, is the gratitude that the students had for me today and the little service I did for them. All over the world people need other people. We need to give daily bread in whatever way we can--to help sustain life for our brothers and sisters around the world. Sometimes we just don't realize how little it takes to provide that loaf of bread.

When was the last time you served some one in need?

Peace,
