Welcome to another beautiful day in the neighborhood. It’s beautiful because you’re my neighbor and you’re part of it.
January 21st is a special day, a day to celebrate the life and message of one of our greatest leaders, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is also a day to celebrate us for Dr. King saw us all as one, interconnected. His message was that we should live lives of love and service. He said “life’s most urgent and persistent question is, what are you doing for others?” He believed that “unconditional love will have the final word” and “whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly”. Therefore his call to love and service.
I know you can live a life of love and service. You are an amazing human being with gifts and talents and a love to give that is unlike anyone else. You are unique, there has never been and never will be anyone just like you. So go ahead and share your gifts, your talents, your service, your love. The world needs it. We need it.
