Reflection

Today happens to be MLK Day, and I'm off work. I thought about taking off from the blog as well, but I figured we all still need a "cup of tea" today. So, let's utilize this holiday for what it was intended.

If there ever was a person who inspired, it was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His role in our nation's history caused all people, classes, races and creeds across this world to scrutinize their treatment and perspective of other human beings. Through him we were asked to be better citizens, show a greater degree of respect, and stimulate ourselves to live our lives with purpose and dignity.

All of these attributes underscore our Christian faith. As believers, we should be aiming to hit the goals Dr. King preached about anyway. Jesus became and revealed the Truth, and Dr. King challenged us to actually walk the path and live it.

So, today as we reflect on one of our nation's greatest leaders, let us challenge ourselves to live up to the dream that Dr. King worked so hard to have realized.

I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.  - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Verse of the Day: Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:13 (NLT)
