Today, we honor a hero of sorts, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., for the things he did to help make little girls like you free. But, he was a man, flesh and blood like you and me, not something to be idolized, imperfect, not without fault.
However, what is special is that he walked in the calling God gave him: to live his life helping others. And he did that greatly, so greatly, that he helped change our entire country.
And when I think about it, that is, at its core, the calling we all have as God's children, sweetheart--to live our lives in service to others, just as Christ did. And when we know God, and know Him deep and well, we can do great things.
I pray that you, along with all your sisters and brothers, live a life before our Father, God, that is holy, pleasing, and acceptable to Him. I pray that you are the girls and boys, men and women, that He has called you to be. And that along your way, it can be said that you live a life dedicated to God, while helping others.
I love you, little one.
