*How to Have a Life of Joy……..* * *
*Do you know how to have a life of joy? Mother Teresa teaches us an important lesson about happiness and about real joy. She was one of those people who emanated joy. Born in 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia, she felt called as a teenager to move to Calcutta, India. Some months later she saw a sight that completely revolutionized her life. Shortly after moving to Calcutta she spotted a homeless, dying woman lying in the gutter, being eaten by rats. After seeing that, compassion compelled her to beg an abandoned Hindu temple from the government and convert it into a crude, make-shift hospital for the dying. "Nobody should die alone" she would later say. Mother Teresa went on to establish homes for the destitute dying in numerous cities. But in spite of devoting her life to people in such dire straits, she radiated joy and happiness. This incredible woman was once interviewed by Malcolm Muggeridge from the BBC News. He asked her an unusual question: "Mother Teresa, the thing I noticed about you and the hundreds of sisters who now form your team is that you all look so happy. Is that a put-on?" Here was a woman who had none of the things we like to think of as bringing happiness: a home, a family, prosperity. Rather, she lived in near-poverty and spent her time wiping dirt and various body fluids from half-dead cancer and leprosy victims -- and appeared to be blissfully happy. "Is that a put-on" she was asked? She replied, "Oh no, not at all. Nothing makes you happier than when you really reach out in mercy to someone who is badly hurt." She would agree that happiness does not come from acquiring, but by-product of giving: time, money, love. Do you want a life of joy? Start by giving.* * * * * *AGAPE LOVE DIVINE MINISTRIES* *Come Discover Love Beyond Reason* Note: We at *AGAPE LOVE DIVINE MINISTRIES *respect your On-line Privacy.
