Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.
I believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.
You need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.
The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us. -

Mine is : "Impress Yourself."
(Because at the end of your life the only thing that will count is how you feel about yourself, and what God thinks about you.)
And: "To change your life, first change your mind."
Off a poster I had:
"Nothing is so strong as gentleness,
Nothing so gentle as real strength."
(-author unknown)
From a Michael Card song - "...There is a JOY in the Journey, and a life we can love on the way, there is a wildness and wonder to life, and freedom for all those who obey..."
(M.Card seems to be a wise person...I love wisdom, and enjoy his music.)
"What is Life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the Sunset.
(In 1890, these were the dying words of Crowfoot, a Blackfoot Native American.)
Whatever your thoughts on life -- just enjoy every moment that you have. Even in sorrow, or troubles, we can have that underlying JOY that comes from knowing that we have a Savior that loves and cares about us, and that we have heaven to look forward to... May everyday of your life be filled with innocence, laughter, and wonder, and may your Epiphany be breathtaking.
Happy New Year!

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
