Mother Teresa spent her working life caring for the sick and dying, taking them from the streets of India and providing them with love and care. She is known the world over.
Mother Teresa, of course, is not the only one going around doing good. There are literally millions of people who are giving of themselves for the sake of others that we never hear anything about: Single mothers trying to raise their children. People who give up a career in order to care for an aging parent. Couples giving foster care to children. Volunteers who teach people how to read. People working on food programs for the poor and needy. Teachers working in inner city schools to try to make a difference. People caring for prisoners and their families. The list goes on.
Virtually every community has their own Mother Teresa. You can probably name one. You might even be one yourself.

Very true. Sometimes we forget the works of God in our own backyard.
