1 Samuel 3:1-10 (NRSV)
..
Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. The word of the LORD
was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.
..
At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see,
was lying down in his room; the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was
lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was. Then the LORD
called, “Samuel! Samuel!” and he said, “Here I am!” and ran to Eli, and said,
“Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call; lie down again.”
So he went and lay down. The LORD called again, “Samuel!” Samuel got up and went
to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call,
my son; lie down again.” Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, and the word of
the LORD had not yet been revealed to him. The LORD called Samuel again, a third
time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Read More

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday celebrates the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America. We commemorate as well the timeless values he taught us through his example — the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service that so radiantly defined Dr. King’s character and empowered his leadership. On this holiday, we commemorate the universal, unconditional love, forgiveness and nonviolence that empowered his revolutionary spirit.
