Tribute to Senator Ted Kennedy

Tribute to Senator Ted Kennedy
Lady of Light

Senator Ted Kennedy passed away last night at the age of 77. He left a legacy of advocating for health care, seniors, women, immigrants, the disabled and children.
Although he made mistakes in life, he persevered and lived out the scripture, "Look not on your own things, but also on the things of others."
I don't know that anyone can truly replace Senator Kennedy, but there will be someone filling the empty slot that he vacated upon his death.
We all need to think on the ideals of the "Liberal Lion" and to continue to forward those goals which will help people, especially those who have issues that need strong advocacy and representation.
Senator Kennedy, we will miss you and we know that you lived out that famous quote of your late brother, John Fitzgerald Kennedy "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
As my husband and I deliver "Meals on Wheels" this week, we will remember that it was a program that Senator Kennedy was instrumental in implementing the legislation for.
I offer prayers of comfort to his family and colleagues at this time and
I hope that this tragedy will cause everyone to take a look at their lives and to think about more ways to "make a difference" for God, our country and the people of our country.
Senator Kennedy, thank you for the wonderful job you did serving your country all of these years and for the inspiration and help you have given to others. You will be remembered as a significant figure throughout the history of the United States...
