On this occasion of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I am always amazed at how much discussion goes into the celebration, or the lack there of (depending on your perspective).
For me, today is about the freedom that comes with not being judged by my appearance, or not being labeled by the group I belong to. Because of the efforts and the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it is no longer an option for me. or anyone to be limited by another. As a child of God, I am free to be me... Period!
To those deliberating on the purpose of today's holiday, or the need for it, or the fact that there should be other days like today (to be fair)... Relax. Today, we as a society are being called to repent for ever allowing such a lifestyle that would limit another individual! Today, we are being called to live the life of freedom that has been given to us! Today, we should be encouraged to dream dreams, and share visions of an even better future!
This is a very important day to me, and I thank you for "living the dream!"
