    “Through the blur, I wondered if I was alone or if other parents felt the same way I did - that everything involving our children was painful in some way.

The human heart was not designed to beat outside the human body and yet, each child represented just that - a parent's heart bared, beating forever outside its chest.”

    Martin Luther King Jr.
    “Now there is a final reason I think that Jesus says, "Love your enemies." It is this: that love has within it a redemptive power. And there is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can鈥檛 stand it too long. Oh, they react in many ways in the beginning. They react with guilt feelings, and sometimes they鈥檒l hate you a little more at that transition period, but just keep loving them. And by the power of your love they will break down under the load. That鈥檚 love, you see. It is redemptive, and this is why Jesus says love. There鈥檚 something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies. (from "Loving Your Enemies")”
    Martin Luther King Jr., A Knock at Midnight: Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.
