Love Fuels

I've been getting an email devotional from Sr. Joan Chittister for the last several months. Just before Valentines day one of the lines in her message was this:



"Fatigue without a physical base is too often a sign of a loss of love. Take something into your life. Love will give you new energy in a cold world."

In the last few weeks, it seems we have heard enough doom and gloom for a few centuries. This quote didn't register at first....but the phrase "take something into your life. Love will give you new energy in a cold world." makes me think that we need to just turn off the TV, don't look at the bad news on your favorite internet news site (even though the headlines SCREAM at you), read only the newspaper articles that uplift. Take something in your life....find a place or way to help others. Sharing love will give you new energy to face what ever the cold, ugly financial world throws at us. Don't let fatigue and "doom and gloom" get you down. Find ways to share your wealth and your love. We live in a country with more prosperity and ways to support ourselves that just about anywhere.

Let love fuel your life and you'll have unlimited energy to face anything.
