Today we celebrate the birthday and life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. For me, his name and all that it implies invokes great emotions, thoughts and wonder. I have yet to read any sermon, speech or statement that he offered that is not as relevant today as it was when he first uttered the words. I believe the legacy of his work will grow on forever.
"Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring—when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children—black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics—will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
In 1963 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired the world to "Let freedom ring.” He gave his life to make life on earth as it is in Heaven for ALL God’s children. Although he is “free at last”, we here on Earth have much work to do. Today, I give thanks for the life, love and sacrifice of MLK. A hero for sure, a Saint perhaps.
We can all honor his legacy by choosing to insure WE, let freedom ring!
