Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: Helping Hands

January 20, 2014 by Cathy C. Hall

It’s the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday today, and many of us will get the day off to celebrate.

But it’s not one of those holidays with fireworks or foods. We don’t really even have great sales. It’s more about…well, civility and service, treating all with respect and reaching out to help one another.

Honestly, though, I think Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best:

“Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”

Of course, I realize that’s not as much fun for you as it is for me. But there’s another Saturday Evening Post Limerick contest going on right now, and all you have to do is come up with a clever verse for this lovely cover:

You have until February 3rd to get your limerick on. Because you know what’s more fun than writing a limerick for the Saturday Evening Post Limerick Contest?

Winning it.

(Off you go! And a special thank you to writer buddy Debra who let me know about this lovely surprise!)
