MLK Day is always a day of reflection for me. Usually it’s filled with gratitude for the privilege I have of raising biracial children and the sacrifices that were made on my behalf in order to make that even a possibility. Not so long ago, I would not have been allowed to marry my husband because of his race. There’s so much I could say but there are a lot of voices out there. So I will just leave this quote here along with one of my favorite verses that reminds me of what love looks like: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV
Never stop pursuing love. Let go of anger. Take a deep breath and pray. Ask God to reveal to you how to love others better. Start by loving yourself and forgiving yourself. He already has.❤️
