Unknown Soldier
I saw this tombstone at the St Charles Cemetary. It made me think about this civil war soldier, gone and forgotten. He went off to serve and gave his life in the service of his country. Who he was, we don't know. His family probably did not even know what happened to him.
I am a soldier in a different army. I want to serve and I do serve, however imperfectly. I will be unknown to nearly everyone, except for a few around me. And in another 140 years, I will be all forgotten, just like this soldier was. The big difference is that my Father will not forget who I am. I will be unknown to those around here, but my Father knows my name and will always remember me, as I live out eternity with Him.
