Today’s A Good Day

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Today’s a good day because God is in it. He’s here. He’s always here.

Today, we are also celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. These two quotes from Dr. King sum up my current feelings.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

And…

“The time is always right to do what is right.”

Yes, the time is always right to do what’s right.

I pray you have a great day and a wonderful week.♥️

Love you,

Timing and Purpose

Shaun Bradford

Today, in the United States, we are celebrating the life and legacy of the late, great civil rights activist, leader, and minister, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When I think of Dr. King, I think of timing and purpose. He was placed in the right place at the right time to fulfill a purpose that only he could fulfill.

Let that soak in…

Dr. King was placed in the right place at the right time to fulfill a purpose that only HE could fulfill. Talk about the true definition of one of one.

Y’all, God is so strategic about His purpose and plan. Everything that happens is designed to perfectly align with God’s purpose and plan; and our role in it all is so strategic. Listen, we matter. Yes…we matter! YOU matter! We are not just here to take up space. No…WE are here to fulfill a specific purpose during this time.

Please hear me! WE are alive during this particular time to fulfill a purpose that only we can fulfill. WE are the Dr. Kings of our time.♥️

We do not have to see the entire picture before we start. All we have to do is take the first step and God will guide us through the rest.

Love you,

Shaun

MLK Day 2022

Shaun Bradford

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the United States. So many are commemorating his life and legacy in different ways – hosting public celebrations, offering workshops, giving speeches, posting quotes, serving others (National Day of Service), and the list goes on. This year I have decided to share the transcript of his final speech, which was delivered on April 3, 1968, the day before his assassination.

Even though we are no where near where Dr. King envisioned we would be, I remain hopeful that one day we will live in a world where human lives are valued more than money. Where love, kindness, compassion and empathy are the norms. Where our differences are embraced not tolerated or rejected. Yes.. I choose to remain hopeful that one day we will sing in perfect harmony, and I pray I get a glimpse of it in my lifetime.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful day!
