Charity is to love others, even when they disappoint you.

Another great message from father to son.....one that I appreciate hearing and being reminded of often.

Tab,

I heard a quote attributed to Mother Teresa today (I have not verified the quote) that I thought was insightful: "Charity is to love others, even when they disappoint you." As a missionary, you will certainly have people fall short of your righteous hopes for them, so there is ample opportunity to develop charity for those you teach and work with.

Have a great week — I'll try to check in with you from Boston.

Love,

Dad

Thanks Dad!

 

That's the type of love Jesus Christ had... everyone let him down! But he still loved everyone. I've got to work on that... we had a lot of disappointments yesterday, so an opportunity to build charity it is! Have an awesome week in Boston.

 

Love,

Tab
