With a woman to look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

According to the National Academy of Medicine, 17 million Americans care for an older parent,

spouse, friend or neighbor with medical limitations.

It's costly, beautiful, and important work, especially in a time when so many are pushing

to eliminate suffering by eliminating sufferers.

There are, as a full-time caregiver put it recently, important lessons, learn, and blessings

received by a culture that is willing to bear one another's burdens.

Quote, over the years, I've prayed many prayers for the people whom I've been entrusted

to care for, but many more times than I can count, this script has flipped, and it's

I who walk away feeling tender, knowing I have received nurture, kindness, and patient love.

And quote, look, any culture in which the call to care for others is cut short, becomes

impoverished, and the pressure to eliminate the sufferer becomes more intense.

Theologian Stanley Harris is famously put it this way.

If in 100 years, Christians are known as those who did not kill their young and did not

kill their elderly, we will have done well.
