A few service acts that we are focused on are:
- Plant a tree – we are going to wait until Spring to plant a tree.
- Make cards for elderly folks at a nursing home – I’ve been saving a collection of random pictures and drawings that our son has made to make them into cards.
- Book drive -we’ve asked his friends to donate books that they longer read to a child in need or to a local hospital or shelter.
- Help clean up a local park – we did this using a grabber.

Lovely post! As you show, we shouldn't focus on Dr. King's message just on MLK Day, but it should be an integral part of how we raise our children every day. Thank you for participating in the MLK Day of Service Blog Hop!
