Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said, "Pray for me that I not loosen my grip on the hands of Jesus even under the guise of ministering to the poor." Wow! We feel so good so often when we do the good deeds of life, especially those we do with and in and for the church as it reaches out to others. But let us never forget our first task, and that is to grip the hands of Jesus with such tenacity that we are obliged to follow His lead, to seek first His kingdom. 

Prayer:  "Loving God, help me to be all you would have me to be, in Jesus' name, Amen."
