Thought for the Day

January 15, 2008 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, Spiritual Growth 5 Comments

“There is no task that could be presented to me, no matter how hard, that I would hesitate to undertake. For I have already experienced in many ways that if I strive at the outset with determination to do it, even in this life His Majesty pays the soul in such ways that only he who has this joy understands it.”

St. Teresa of Avila

*The above was taken from Fire Within by Reverend Thomas Dubay, S.M.
(Chap. 2, p. 21).

    What would we do without the wise words of our saints in heaven?

    Thanks for the inspiring quote. I need to remind myself of this when I think my life is too difficult.

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
