Healing Well of Miriam

How many times have we recoiled in disgust at some bug or creepy crawly and wondered why in the world God put them into this world?  What purpose do they serve, other than to irritate, to frighten, or at worst, to threaten our very lives?  Flies, mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, etc. have made people miserable for centuries upon centuries.  Yet we know that each creature is part of the balance of nature, and although we cannot necessarily know its purpose in each case, we know there must be one.  For after all, nature is a very complex design, in which each detail has an intricate, essential part.  Each creature, along with its purpose for being, was conceived in the Divine Mind before coming into physical existence.
