This is a reflection of how everyone has a purpose and path in their life.
I was reminded by the sermon at church today that everyone is called by God for a specific path and purpose.I have seen this in the people I have been able to serve. At one point I worked with children with severe disabilities. They needed assistance with eating, going to the bathroom etc. They weren't able to talk or walk.Each one of them had a unique personality and gift to share with everyone .They might not have a full time job or do speeches, but they taught me much about accepting things I can't change and about patience and love. They taught me how much can be expressed without words.
I now work with adults with severe mental illness.Again each have their own gifts to bring.It is amazing the challenges they have survived.Many times I need to tell them of the abiltities they have. Sometimes they just haven't had the opportunity to use them.Sometimes they live in board and care homes where they have a roomate and can be very challenging. How many of us would want to have no say in who we lived with or what we ate each day.
Yes, even people who have committed crimes of every kind have gifts and skills to offer the world.Maybe because of circumstances or they didn't know they had the skills or used them in destructive ways.
This leads me to you , the reader.What do you think your purpose is?What do you think your skills and gifts are and how do your use them?These are also questions I ask myself.It might be an interesting reflfection- don't you think?
We all have a purpose! IS TRUE! Cindy, and you said it so well HERE!

My reflection would be in CARING, SHARING in anyway I can, to those who NEED it! and some who don't know it!
It is also true ( I believe it too) people have been put in the WRONG direction in life to learn something for someone, even criminals/etc...
