Call this a primer for Thanksgiving time.

One evening when Mother Theresa and several other Sisters went out to search the streets for opportunities to serve. Soon, they came upon four people in terrible need. Mother Theresa turned to the other Sisters and said, “You take care of these three and I will take care of this fourth child of God for she seems the most miserable of them all.”

And so it was that she began to overwhelm the woman with love and care. She first fed her and then placed her fragile frame on a bed to rest. The woman had already begun to smile, but now her smile grew radiant. She reached up, took Mother Theresa’s hand in hers and spoke two words…just two words…thank you. And then she died.

It was then Mother Theresa began to ask herself what she would have said had she been in such a condition and someone was taking such care of her. Would I have simply asked for more? More food? Something to ease the pain of dying? Would I have been filled only with concern for myself and what I could get?

The answer to her questions came like a revelation, she said. This woman who had nothing to give, gave with all her heart and mind and soul and strength the gift of gratitude. She said thank you and died with a smile on her face.
