Continuing a Mission

I remember reading a story once of a journalist who was interviewing Mother Teresa. He was so moved by her account of her mission that he repeatedly asked her how he himself could help. Finally, towards the end of the interview she gave her answer - go out today, tonight, tomorrow and find one person who feels alone in this world. Convince him/her otherwise.
Powerful.
And much needed.
We are all in the postion of needing to be convinced we're not alone and have the ability to reach out to others and do the convincing. Today's a wonderful opportunity to continue Mother Teresa's holy mission. Reach out to someone - and in the moment of our reaching a miracle will occur - we will find a reach always extends in both direction and contact itself is its own reward.
Try it.

Peace,
Eric
