Small things, Great Love


So many people have told me recently that they have stopped listening to the news. The news was making them feel helpless and depressed because they cannot change so many of the bad things that are happening.  I admit I have felt this way before and actually sometimes recommend to people to take a break from the “news”, but I remind myself, and want you to never forget, that you do have some control over your little segment of this world.  Remember the words of Mother Teresa,     

“We can do no great things, only small things with great love.”

What small things are you doing today, with great love?

Betty Brewer’s Angels volunteers visit residents of long-term care facilities that have no, or few, visitors.  What sets us apart from other visiting charities is that we do not do what I call “hit and miss” visiting. Rather we purposefully chose a resident who has little or no visits from friends or family and then establish a friendship with that person by our weekly visits with only them. We are interested in them and their life. 

If you are interested in hearing more about Betty Brewer’s Angels or are interested in becoming an Angel yourself and do a small thing with great love, please contract me at 614-309-4677 or bettybrewersangels@wowway.com
