The Wordless Book:

My heart was dark with sin,

Until The Savior came in.

His precious Blood , I know

Has washed me whiter

Than snow.

And in His Book

I’m told,

I’ll walk the streets of gold,

I’ll read my Bible and pray.

I’ll grow in Him every day.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you,

Bind them around your neck,  

  Write them on the tablet of your heart.

Proverbs 3:3

The family, “says Mother Teresa, “is the place to learn Jesus.  God has sent the family—together as husband and wife and children—to be His love.”

In Words of Love by…, Mother Teresa writes, “Once a lady came to me in great sorrow and told me that her daughter had lost her husband and a child.   All the daughter’s hatreds had turned on the mother.  She wouldn’t even see the mother.

“So I said, “Now you think a bit about the little things that your daughter liked when she was a child. Maybe flowers or a special food.  Try to give her some of these things without looking for a return.’

“And she started doing some of these things, like putting the daughter’s favorite flower on the table, or leaving a beautiful piece of cloth for her.  And she didn’t not look for return from the daughter.

“Several days later the daughter said, ‘Mommy, come. I love you. I want you.’

“It was so beautiful.

“By being reminded of the joy of childhood, the daughter reconnected with her family life.  She must have had a happy childhood to go back to the joy and happiness of her mother’s love.”

In Memory of

who is walking those streets of gold.
