On Justice – A Quote To Carry You

On Justice

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”  Martin Luther King, Jr.

When I think of the injustices that have been committed throughout the history of mankind, it makes me wonder how so basic a requirement for any civilization can get so far off course.  Justice is defined as moral or absolute rightness; the upholding of what is just.   As with anything, once even a small part of the whole weakens, it won’t be long before the entire thing breaks and falls apart, if the weakened part is not attended to.  Think of how our world would be if we all did our part to uphold what is good, just, and right…can you imagine that?

Peace and love,

“Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!” (conclusion from “I Have a Dream,” a 1963 speech by Martin Luther King, Jr.

Freedom is sweet.  Freedom is not always attained easily.  Freedom is not to be taken lightly; for freedom comes with a price.

As the birthday of our nation approaches, may you reflect on the many freedoms that we enjoy as Americans, and may you never forget the sacrifices that were made to make them available to us all.

Peace to you,

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”  Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have always been inspired by these words…they move me in a way that tells me that beauty is not just skin deep.  In fact, to me, the most beautiful and lasting quality about a person is the richness of their character.  A person shows to others who he truly is by what he does with what he’s taken in.  His words, his actions…they are what the world sees of him the most.  The content of your character reveals the essence of you.

Wishing you much peace in your world today.

A Quote to Carry You – January 20, 2014

A quote to carry you - JANUARY 20, 2014A Quote to Carry You

“Faith is taking the first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase.” Martin Luther KIng Jr.

When it comes to faith, one aspect of it that I value the most, is how it can spill over into the paths of others who choose to follow in the same direction…all you need is the courage to take the first step.

On this day that we’ve set aside to honor the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I would like also to express my gratitude for his having the faith, courage and vision to step out and set into motion those things that he held dear.  May we also strive to take these “first steps” of faith and climb to the top of the staircase…and beyond.

Peace,

Felecia
