~~MY FAMILY GARDEN~~



Spread love everywhere you go:
first of all in your own house.
Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor....
Let no one come to you without leaving better or happier.
Be the living expression of God's kindness;
kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes,
kindness in your smile and kindness in your warm greeting.
~ Mother Teresa ~
