A True Story About the Spirit of Giving


Mother Theresa was in Calcutta when a six-year-old boy came up to her with his hands outstretched. His own mother had told him that Mother Theresa and the Sisters didn't have any sugar. So he had collected his family's sugar for the whole week, which he held in the palm of his hand and gave to Mother Theresa, saying, "Mother, I heard you had no sugar." When Mother Theresa told the Sisters about this little boy's gift, she said, "People give us wonderful gifts, truckloads of medicines and money for missionaries and charities. And that is a wonderful thing. But when I looked at that little boy and his handful of sugar, I realized that it's not how much we give in life or how much we do in life that counts, it's how much love we do it with."

...One drop of water helps to swell the ocean; a spark of fire helps to give light to the world. None are too small, too feeble, too poor to be of service. Think of this and act.

—Hannah Moore,
English novelist
