"Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'"
What will you be doing for Martin Luther King day?
If you have no plans, check out this site, it's lists' some great volunteer opportunities. On a day which represents strong leadership and courage, wouldn't it be great to do give back to our community?
Like a bread without the spreadin'. Like a mattress without beddin', Like a cart without a hoss, Like a door without a latchstring, Like a dry an' barren creed bed- Is the face without a smile. Like a house without a dooryard, Like a clock without a mainspring, That will never tell the hour; A thing that sort o' makes yo' feel A hunger all the while-
Oh, the saddest sight that ever was Is a face without a smile! The face of man was built for smiles, An' thereby he is blest Above the critters of the field, The birds an' all the rest; He's just a little lower Than the angels in the skies, An' the reason is that he can smile; Therein his glory lies! So smile an' don't forget to smile, An' smile, an' smile ag'in 'Twill help you all along the way, An' cheer you mile by mile; An' so, whatever is your lot, Jes' smile, an' smile, an' smile.
