A face God designed

in His own image you judge

being a critic

of things treasured above you

blind and foolish as you are.

Mothers don’t get enough credit. To all the moms out there, thank you and I love y’all. I hope your babies change the world, and everything you sacrificed comes back a thousand fold.

Image of God

“The whole concept of the imago Dei … ‘the image of God,’ is the idea that all men have something within them that God injected. … And this gives him a uniqueness, it gives him worth, it gives him dignity. And we must never forget this as a nation: there are no gradations in the image of God. Every man from a treble white to a bass black is significant on God’s keyboard, precisely because every man is made in the image of God. One day we will learn that. We will know one day that God made us to live together as brothers and to respect the dignity and worth of every man.” —Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., The American Dream
