Coretta Scott King TESTAMENT OF LOVE

Coretta Scott King, 1927-2006 A woman of dignity and quiet strength
For black women, Coretta Scott King was like Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Following the assassination of her husband, during days of very public mourning, Mrs. King was a portrait of dignity and quiet strength. At a time when every black American was judged by the behavior of a very few, Mrs. King's grace under pressure made black Americans very proud.

So did her efforts to promote the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the mission to which she dedicated the rest of her life. Mrs. King raised millions to build the facility on Auburn Avenue in Atlanta. She called it the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Non-Violent Social Change.
Mrs. King's greatest triumph was the holiday. She campaigned for it tirelessly, along with celebrities such as Stevie Wonder and Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., who introduced the bill for a holiday commemorating King a mere four days after his assassination. Fifteen years later, with Coretta Scott King standing next to him, President Reagan signed the law designating the third Monday of every January, near King's Jan. 15 birthday, a federal holiday. By 2000, it was also a state holiday in all 50 states.

Let her legacy be a reminder of the power of Love!!

1: If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2: And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3: If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4: Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;
5: it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
6: it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
7: Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8: Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
9: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;
10: but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.
11: When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
12: For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.
13: So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is Love.
I Corinthians 13:1-13

Lets try Love for a change!
