Service and Martin Luther King

A friend from high school posted this quote from Martin Luther King on her Facebook page today, "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."  

Today, Martin Luther King Day is a "A Day On, Not a Day Off" as thousands of people from all over the country volunteer. I hope that many of those thousands of people continue that service and not discount the other 364 days of the year.

We've talked about the many benefits of service here before. Not only are you providing your hands and heart to an organization that needs you, but you are also helping yourself in your job search.  That aside, please keep the Martin Luther King's words and the spirit of volunteerism alive long after the sun sets tonight.
