I love this story. It goes along with what I said in church on Sunday. Rarely do we see the results of our labors. So often like throwing a rock in the pond the original splash may be small but the effects can widen out to unseen results.I thought of dominoes...knock one over and the results can keep on going and going. I looked for videos on line and found this.

Mother Teresa's Anyway Poem
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered;[Reportedly inscribed on the wall of Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta, and attributed to her. However, an article in the New York Times has since reported (March 8, 2002) that the original version of this poem was written by Kent M. Keith.] http://www.paradoxicalcommandments.com/index.html
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
