Good Morning Blessed Ones,
Break-Through is possible!
“Don’t be so consumed by the pain that you don’t hear the message.” Writer, Cynthia Griggs Fleming said those words about a man—who on this 40th anniversary of his assassination—we celebrate and honor the memory of a life well lived in service to all. He was a man who walked the causes for which he so passionately championed ~ talked ~ and ultimately lost his life for: nonviolence, peace, liberty, and justice…for everyone…regardless of race, creed, or color. In addition to being charismatically engaging, he was also a well respected civil rights leader and activist ~ a prolific writer and fearless orator—loved by millions—and impossible to forget. That man’s name is Dr. [Rev.] Martin Luther King. Consider this: You can choose to live life [within] and view life [from] a very limited [confined] space, and thus experience a very limited [restricted] sense of security. OR, you can choose to step [into a life]—Where space is endless. Where unpredictability ~ bugaboos ~ and mysteries abound to challenge and provoke you to act. Where your survival abilities are stretched and tested to measure how well you adapt, endure, and persevere. Where your conscience is hard pressed to ensure that your dreams, goals, and ambitions are [not only] scaled and framed to your advantage—BUT—that they also have a worldly advantage—One which does not infringe upon the rights of others. One that creates space and a place…for everyone! One that stands as a testament that Dr. Martin Luther King’s message was well received ~ practiced ~ and above all…heard! “Nothing great was ever done without much enduring.”— Catherine of Siena.
Remember, Life is What You Make It: One Choice, One Moment, One Day, One Word, One Prayer, At A Time! Seek God’s counsel in all things! Be prepared for Him to move SUDDENLY! You are blessed to be a blessing! “Faith perceives Truth sooner than Experience can.” (Kahlil Gibran: A Spiritual Treasury, p94). Stay Productive. “Activity is contagious.” (Emerson). Daily, ask the Lord to, “Teach [you] to make the most of [your] time so that [you] grow in wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12). Never forget that You and Family matter! Like Steph says, “We’re not perfect, but we’re real, and all love each other very much!” Be safe and always thankful, assured that “God is doing a work in you, which will be revealed in due season.” I believe the Spirit of God resides within each of us! What do you believe in…Against the odds…in spite of and not because of? TTYS!

“We are saved by hope [in God].” (Romans 8:24).
