The Followers of Mother Theresa

Yesterday we went to a missionary house of Mother Theresa. This house caters the need of different types of children. I was sad and happy to see some children that was abandoned by their parents and yet happy because they are being taken care of the nuns or the followers of Mother Theresa. I realized that I am so lucky and grateful for having a blessed life. What really strikes me was the how these nuns are being called by God to give all their life for the sake of children. I can honestly tell that I can give or share what I have for these children but to spend my whole life taking care of these children I doubt if I can do it. These nuns are heroes and saints for me and I am thankful that they exist. There are so many realization yesterday that occurred to me and that was one of the very good and essential experienced I have.

I am very glad to hear that all the work of Mother Theresa is doing well. Mother Theresa was an example for many people and I suppose that her followers opened their hearts to the plead for those children. Let us thank that such people exist inthe world and let us try to do a little bit to help as far as we are able to. I, like you, feel that my life has been blessed and have always had a lot of things that those children never had.

Thanks for your comment. I really feel that these nuns or followers of Mother Theresa deserve to be given so much appreciation for their merciful works. I hope that many people can follow just a little step from these holy people.

That is so nice to read. Those children would be so lost without them.I know how hard it is to work with children as I have done childcare many years and its very trying! Especially with children that are in positions of not having the proper care that they should have, Not everyone can do it, and thats okay. But the impact that it made on you will do what its supposed to do in your heart. You will most likely be a blessing to children in some form in the future.

Thanks for your comment. I do hope that I can do in the future what you have mentioned. I can share what I have to the needy but to give all my time to take care of children in that missionary house is impossible for me now. I am just honest, I love to help but I want something left for me. That is why I admire those nuns they really deserve the best.

My cousins is a nun and she dedicates herself in serving God and continuing his mission on Earth. Nuns do a lot of things from helping to teaching children. One of the nuns I know is actually teaching kids in primary school right now. They are not restricted in being in a missionary and simply helping people in need, their job ranges far on from that. They have offered such great assistance and they're such amazing people. We all need people like them, people who are actually passionate and really love in what they do. It's hard to find people like nuns these days.

I admire these nuns so much. They don't have monthly salary yet they are motivated to offer their time for the glory of God.
