Incredible quote…
Not knowing who he was, I googled Howard Therman and found some amazing nuggets of info…
Howard Thurman (born 1899 in Daytona Beach, Florida - April 10, 1981) was an influential American author, philosopher, theologian, educator and civil rights leader. He was Dean of Theology and the chapels at Howard and Boston universities for more than two decades, wrote 20 books, and in 1944 helped found the first racially integrated, multicultural church in the United States.
He mentored Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Another of his quotes…
“When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins: To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoner, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among others, To make music in the heart.” - WOW…
