Monday Musings: Love Begins at Home

Cut sunflower from backyard meadow with aphid still on

Do not wait for leaders.
Do it alone; person to person.
Love begins at home;
Love lives in homes, and so it should,
because that is where love begins..
Creating peace in the world,
begins by creating peace in the home.
We cannot do great things in the world...;
but we can do little things, with great love..
We think sometimes, that poverty is
being hungry, naked, and homeless..
The poverty of feeling unwanted,
unloved, and uncared for,
is the greatest of all poverty...
We must start in our own homes,
to remedy this kind of poverty..
The little things which we do
with great love for doing it;
are links that form a strong chain of Love.....
— Mother Teresa

(quote shared by my Danish friend on Facebook Helle Sjørslev, a woman who inspires me with her generous love-filled posts. Gotta love a person who lists their religion as "authentic love.")

We are in the home stretch of imbueing love and peace into our home so that it can go on the market next Monday and attract another family who will love it as much as we have. My intention for this week is to shower my home and my family with love.

Tell me, what's your intention for this week?
