fillers...

"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove...
Than the hunger for bread."
-Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa...
She is a mother of love.

A woman so captivated by The Author of Romance...
She spent herself...
Her ENTIRE self...
Giving that love away.

Love...
It's the bread for our souls...
No counterfeits or fillers can satisfy...
This God-given fundamental need.

We must remain feasting ones...
Filling up on truth.

God is love...
And...
NOTHING...
NOTHING...
NOTHING else will EVER satisfy.

Mother Teresa...
A beauty that encountered and imitated Christ.
Her radical pursuit of love...
Made her a radical lover.

Always and continuously emptying herself of "fillers..."
She was truly filled to the overflow...
With The Bread of Life.
In a culture...
Alive with the over-fed...
We are swimming in a sea of "hungry's..."
And... I have been known to offer stale bread to the starving.

Seeking to learn what it looks like to be a mother of love.
Offering soul nutrients to a love-hungry world.
Very aware I don't  have to go to Calcutta to feed...
I can begin right where I am...
In my very own home.
