A Fruit of Love to Bear You have faith to do the most ordinary work..............Then realize that the extraordinary work will to come your way............in the most simple yet subtle ordinary way. Even the so called meager task shall shine with success if you have placed the dignity of complete sincerity in it. A duty is a result of the choice that you have made in the present or past. Every duty deserves complete and full of your attention. The duty becomes demanding when you feel you have already received the gain that you wished for and it is not enticing enough for you to continue investing yourself in the effort. It is your day to day task that gives you your sanity..........your peace...........and makes you wake up each day to feel needed. The tensions are not an outcome to your duty but your resistance to it. Each one is a care taker of someone...........and it is that act of caring for another that gives one the strength to wake up and face the day to come. When you begin to measure what you receive in return for what you do............it is then that you shall resent your effort to love. Peace is not simply the silence of the tongue................it is the silence of the mind. When you hold grudges it is you that becomes hateful! Give praise to God at every moment............. derive strength from the peace of prayer................then offer the strength that you have received to the one that depends on you. Do not feel hurt if your attempts are unfounded. If you depend on others to make you happy in your duty then all your tasks will weigh you down. The tree bears the sweet juicy fruits every summer..............It tolerates the heat..............it stands still holding the fruits for you rooted in one spot...........Whoever saw a tree move from its place to seek shade under another tree?
