The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King lived inside out; every day. Tomorrow is the day set aside to honor both his birthday and memory and honor the spirit of a life truly lived as one inwardly strong and outwardly focused.
A campaign to bring awareness of Martin Luther King Day is asking Americans to spend tomorrow in acts of service; nothing fancy, not necessarily as part of an organized activity, but something to make lives better. How appropriate that this day should arrive just as the situation in Haiti grows ever more desperate, when the holidays are over and donations drop and funds are depleted, when taxes are due and emotions stretch thin...
There is no age limit to serving one's community, all that is needed is a love for others and a sense that any contribution, however small, can and will make a difference.
Dr. King said once "Everybody can be great, because everyone can serve." He was right. How will your family or group of friends choose to spend tomorrow?
