A Living Legacy

Happy Martin Luter King, Jr. Day

President Obama's Inauguration Day

What a MARVELOUS Monday to have an inauguration on! On the day that we honor a great man who gave his life for our civil rights. I can only imagine what Dr. King and other deceased civil rights activist like him would be feeling if they were still alive to see the second swearing in of an African-American to the highest office in America.

I was remembering back four years ago today when I sat watching the inauguration on television as I held my four week old grandson, how amazing it is to be born when the first ever African-American man was elected president. But even more so, how fitting for the inauguration to fall on the day we honor Dr. King. I happen to see a couple of quotes of Dr. King's that I hadn't heard before and thought I'd share. Abundant Blessings!
