Tonight for Family Home Evening, as a way to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr day, we read I am Martin Luther King, Jr and discussed how relevant Dr. King's message and work are today. I told them that our country is not as safe as it should be for people of color, even so many years after the Civil Rights movement. The kids asked good, hard questions. I cried multiple times as I tried to get through the book, because the message is so close to my heart.
I concluded the lesson by asking them what Jesus taught about how we should treat our neighbors.
"Love them," they said.
"And who is your neighbor?"
"Everyone."
