What am I doing to advance the dream? Am I continuing the legacy started decades ago by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and instilled in me by my parents, pastor, siblings, mentors....and so many others who wanted better....better jobs, better civil rights, a better life....for them and others? I cuddle with Grace and I tell her how beautiful, smart, special and amazing she is. Surely, that's a part of advancing the dream, right? Allowing my daughter to grow up knowing she's great and destined for even greater because of who she is and WHOSE she is, has to count. I devote my life and time to furthering God's kingdom, living a life that speaks volumes about my integrity, sense of purpose and self...and feeling dauntingly inadequate when I fall short. And I work for and talk for and fight for a world where moms and CEO'S and minorities and the sexually ambiguous are cared for and treated fairly. PERIOD. I'm not the most outspoken and certainly there are bigger advocates for justice than I. But, I do what I can in my little corner of the world and hope that the lives I touch and the impact I may have spreads far and wide enough to go that much farther... and make that much more of a difference.
Lord, let there be peace (justice, healing, love) on earth
AND LET IT BEGIN WITH ME
