At last week’s World Vision Board meeting we signed off on the financials and legals for our 2011 Annual Report. As part of this I re-read the 2010 Annual Report and was struck once again by this challenging and encouraging quote from Mother Teresa of Calcutta:

Let there be no pride or vanity in the work.

The work is God’s work, the poor are God’s poor.

Put yourself completely under the influence of Jesus,

so that he may think  his thoughts in your mind, do his work through your hands,

for you will be all-powerful with him to strengthen you.
