Martin Luther King, Jr…
….what a man! This holiday is probably one of my favorite holidays as it causes us to stop and reflect on not only the many great changes that have happened as a result of this man’s persistence but also at how many more changes need to take place. Yesterday, while my sweet boys and I spent the day in reflection approximately 5,000 children of God died from malaria in Africa and thousands more were infected with HIV. This will repeat itself today. And tomorrow. While there is much less hate in our country toward African-Americans than there was in the 60′s, our world isn’t free of prejudice. Equality has yet to be truly grasped and practiced until we see others as Jesus does. We are His hands and His feet while we’re on this earth. I’mma get busy, y’all.
“Now is the time to make
justice a reality
for all of God’s children.”
~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
