There is Purpose and Worth to Each and Every Life...

There is Purpose and Worth to Each and Every Life... The Tomb of Ronald Reagan.
I thought that this was an appropriate photo to open this post. I thought a lot about Reagan this week, as well as others famous and not so famous that I have known that struggled through a long process of end of life debilitating illness. This past week or so ,I was reading "When Character Was King: A Biography of Ronald Reagan" by Peggy Noonan and the retelling of this great mans life was an encouragement to me. The words on the tomb reflect the thoughts that one must have in the forefront of ones mind as one spends time with an invalid parent in a nursing home. That even in this time of seeming "uselessness", each and everyone of us is precious in the sight of God in all phases of life. The life itself is the Divine spark.
