The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was:  “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?”  But… the good Samaritan reversed the question:  “If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?”

— Martin Luther King, Jr.

‘Should I get involved?’

This bald eagle that stopped in the tree behind our house yesterday doesn’t ask, ‘Should I chase the mouse?’
Either he will or he won’t.

That may be the wrong question to ask if you’re wondering how you can make a difference on this day – a day to honor the late Reverend Martin Luther King.

Perhaps a better question is,

‘Will I get involved?’

Don’t hesitate.

Act.

Yesterday’s gift of time … While running, stopped to see if I could help a stranded motorist. Although my involvement wasn’t of much use, at least the driver had someone available to offer to call for help.
