“Faith is taking the first step when you don’t see the staircase.”
– Martin Luther King Jr.
Happy Birthday Martin Luther King! This morning during breakfast, I played for the boys Stevie Wonder’s song ‘Happy Birthday‘ that he wrote and produced in 1981 when he was campaigning to get Martin Luther King’s birthday declared a national holiday.
Growing up, I remember my mother used to play this song on his birthday every year and we would dance around to it. It became a tradition in our home. So I thought this year I would introduces the boys to the fun. Nicholas took to it fast and danced with me in the kitchen.
Today is a very special day for us all and I am truly grateful for the changes that came about as a result of all his and many other’s efforts.
When the boys get home from school today we will complete some coloring pages of Martin to hang around the house. I included a link to the pages below.
I have included a few links for more information on this amazing man:
- Martin Luther King Jr. bio.
- Martin Luther King Jr. Coloring pages
- Martin Luther King Jr. books
Have a blessed day!
