Ser un instrumento de paz

Que es realamente ser un instrumento de paz? en muchas ocasiones con o sin la intencion durante el dia somos objeto de constantes confrontaciones,  empezando en nuestro hogar con nuestros hijos, esposos familiares, posteriormente al poner un pie fuera de la casa en la carretera, en el banco,  supermenrcado, en la escuela de nuestros hijos, en fin no faltan oportunidades para sentirnos ofendidos y regresar el favor, pero por que sin pensarlo dos veces reaccionamos de manera defensiva ante la gente, no paramos y pensamos un momento que si me dicen hacen o critican , esto no tiene nada que ver conmigo realmente es totalmente su propio criterio basando en sus creencias y es realmente cuestion de  energia  espiritual y ser fuerte de caracter para no permitir que los problemas de otros me afecten,una ves lei que el miserable siempre busca compania, y no podemos pasarnos buscando claridad en nuestra vida analizando la obscuridad,la gente fustrada y amargada siempre va a intentar reflejar ese gran infelicidad a la gente que le rodea y es sin lugar a duda es nuestra decicion si permitimos que eso nos afecte, nunca debemos tratar de razonar con gente enojada,solo ignorarlos y darnos la media vuelta es una gran paso a no acabar disgustados tambien, por lo contario debemos tratar de  ser cortez al manejar sonreir mas a la gente, ser amable agradecido, si miramos a nuestro alrededor hay un sin fin de oportunidades para  ayudar a quien lo necesite, hay un refran  que dice en la manera en que da es en la que recibes, mientras mas  des mas recibiras siempre teniendo presente que esto siempre funciona cuando uno actua desinteresadamente sin esperar nada a cambio.

The woman who gave hope

Mother Teresa was always characterized as being noble, humble and a woman of great heart who decided to choose a path of complete service to God and her mission on earth was to help the mankind especially serving “The poorest of the poor.”
        For over half a century this woman  sacrificed her life in mind, body and soul to serve whom everyone else pretended not to see or care.
              What kept her going year after year? A lot of people asked that question and she always answered, “I see the face of Jesus in the poor, and I do it for him.” What she did in Calcutta and to others in different parts of the world, is a legacy and inspiration that people continue doing the same simple acts of charity and mercy today inspired by this wonderful woman.
        Jeff  Burson. Wrote an article in which Pope John Paul II said “Mother Teresa marked the history of our century with courage. She served all human beings by promoting their dignity and respect and made those who had been defeated by life feel the tenderness of God.”
      Mother Teresa always wrote simple words wrapped in great wisdom among which stands this quote, “The more you care about the powerless, the more power you have. The more you serve those with no influence, the more influence God gives you. The more humble yourself, the more you are honored by others” These simple but very meaningful words represented her unconditional love and sacrifice no matter what circumstances she faced. She was always willing to do everything she could possibly do.
       According to Brian Kolodiejchuk, he explained “The vigor, joy and enthusiasm with which she carried out her responsibilities powerfully influence those who came in contact with her, especially her sisters and the poor she served.”
         Mother Teresa was undoubtedly a role model of inspiration. The faith in her spiritual vocation was the strength to confront the most difficult situations. She always faced obstacles with kindness and courage.
       The difference between a hero and celebrity lies in the reason for their sacrifice, and Mother Teresa wholeheartedly gave her life to serve others without expecting anything in return. Her sacrifice changed people’s lives, because she gave them a different perspective of what their life was worth.
