Let Us Put into Action Dr. King’s Famous Words to Us – Seek to be Used by God

            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.

            The third Monday each year is a federal holiday that has been set aside for us to honor the amazing life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  It was created a national holiday in 1983 after 32 years of campaigning. 

            Please have your children involved so that they can learn more about him! There is so much information available for children that is absolutely free, from suggested activities to printouts and crossword puzzles to coloring pages as well as YouTube videos designed just for children.  And, of course, there are many children’s books too.  I have researched and compiled some websites for you to review and share with your children.  Even if your children have done some studies about him last year or in school, there is such a vast amount of information available that they can always learn something new.
