On the third Monday of each January, we celebrate and honor the great civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Please take the time today to assist your children to learn more about his life and accomplishments. He was a man of immense faith and always believed his calling was for a greater purpose. And, it was!
In this famous quote that I love, he has a call to action for all of us:
“Use me, God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do, and use it for a purpose greater than myself.”
Let us strive, especially during this year, to seek, to do, and to be used by God for a greater purpose than just ourselves. This is my heart’s prayer.
