Able Quote by Mother Teresa
“The best way to show your gratitude to God and people is to accept everything with joy…We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs from a heart that is in love with God. All over the world people are hungry and thirsty for God's love. We meet that hunger by spreading joy. Joy is one of the best safeguards against temptation.”
