"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
Sometimes we don't even see the next step!
But let's allow not seeing - or fear - keep up from taking steps toward our personal dreams and highest visions for our communities, our country, and the world.
We can do it! We have faith. We have strength and courage. We have talent and imagination.
Along with nurturing our visions with faith today, let's remember and honor dreams of MLK. He said so many powerful things. Do you have a favorite quote?
Among my favorites is this one:
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
I also share in the dream that - despite how some things look right now* - we will be able to speed up to the day when all God's children will be able to hold hands in friendship.
With faith,
Charlene
* Yes, there are signs of fear and hate. But there are also many signs of more and more of us yearning for peace, equal rights and justice, and respect for all. Let's nurture this too, in any and every way we can.
