*Do things with great Love!*
I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' Rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?
At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. How many masses we have attended or rosaries we have recited. We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in. Love cannot remain by itself- it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action, and that action is service.
Remember, Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do but how much love we put in that action. Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love. If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.
What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family. If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love. We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion. Stay Blessed. Be loving, humble and kind.
