A friend who adopted a sibling set in Ethiopia last year posted these quotes by Mother Teresa on her blog to accompany her prayer request specifically for two sibling sets who were orphanage friends with one of her daughters. These quotes were so moving to me, as someone who's trying to bring home a child, that I wanted to share them with you. Thanks Kristy!
"The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted."
"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread."
"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat . . . We must find each other."
"Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go."
"How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers."
"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."
