“Prayer in action is love, love in action is service.” — Mother Teresa

Aren’t we commanded to love our neighbors? To love God and to love others? I love Mother Teresa’s challenge to us. Yes, pray for others. But put those prayers into action. Love others. Serve others. If someone is hungry, pray for them. But do more. Love that person by acting in love. Serve that person. It may mean cooking a meal or buying groceries for them.

Lord, open my eyes that I may see the ways you would have me pray for others. Show me how to love them by taking action and serving them. Each loving act of service bears testimony of your love and grace. Thank you for your loving service toward me and all of mankind.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
