This “not-said-by-Mother-Teresa” quote has always resonated with me. I am one in need of the reminder that the people in front of me, the ones in my home, deserve my Christian love first and most for they will then go out into the world and create their own ripple effects based on how full that love has been. It is very easy for me to get so distracted and absorbed in the projects and people I serve outside of the home that I am left depleted, lacking then in that same Christian charity for my own. This non-quote has always helped me flip my posture and reorder my perspective, and, while Mother Teresa may not have said it explicitly, I do like to think she would approve.
