Mother Teresa

Whenever someone was a jerk or a blowhard, and they were married, my father would always say about that person’s spouse - “they have moved up past Mother Teresa on my list.” Alas, this story is not about my father’s Mother Teresa sayings. Mother Teresa is attributed with the quote: "Wash the plate not because it is dirty nor because you are told to wash it, but because you love the person who will use it next." Focus on these small, meaningful acts of service and you will naturally pay-it-forward for the next generation.
