Life is short, and then you die. This is a universal truth. I hope that we can take a moment right now to stop. To breath. To think about how we are living our one precious life.
My mom taught me what it means to be a role model and to fight for what is right, even when it’s so much easier to just give up. She died from Covid on May 5, 2020. I was unable to see her, to hold her, to help her or to say good bye in person. Not much has changed since her death. The Covid death count continues to rise. One thing is certain, we still don’t know when or how this pandemic will ever end.
This Monday we will remember a “Founding Father” Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. What a blessing he was and is to our world and as we enter into this long weekend, many may have some extra time to reflect on the good deeds and wise words of Dr. King.
Dr. King, was also taken too soon and without warning from another disease that is even more deadly than Covid — hatred.
As I reread the sermon Dr. King delivered in November 1957, I was inspired by how relevant and wise his words are even today.
