Daily Devotion - Monday, January 18

Martin Luther King Day

“All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance
and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.”

--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A number of years ago, I was completing a part of my on-going training program at the hospital and Dr. King’s quote (see above) appeared on one of the slides. Along with fellow associates, I am called to focus on a theme word, EXCELLENCE. This is a critical word representing an attitude that should be expected not just in the workplace, but in every breath we take.

As we labor, regardless of our job description, each of us makes a contribution to truly uplift humanity. Let us undertake our work this week with painstaking excellence. If we are committed to this we will find the peace we all desire and talk.

A prayer: God be in my words and in my deeds. Amen.
