Purpose of Life

This is a bit different entry than you are used to seeing here. This goes back to the old days of my writing, something I do love is to take a topic and just think and write. As I was watching a Christmas show on the Hallmark Channel - you know the tear jerker’s for the holidays. My mother-in-law got me started watching these during the time between Thanksgiving till Christmas. Anyway, as I was saying I was watching the program called "The Note", oh my what a great show! A commercial came on and I wasn't remotely interested in the show but a question caught my attention. The question was "what is the purpose of Life?" So many people go through life trying figure this out. They do the craziest of things to make sense of it all, or they try to fill the void they feel with anything they can get their hands on. Think about it... for you, the reader, what is the purpose to life for you? You do things, why? You help others, why? You go through life, what is it you are trying to accomplish at the end? It's nice to go through life and make a living, have money to live comfortable and raise a family. For all time these have been the questions that seem to haunt people where others don't seem to be bothered. Over two thousand years ago God sent his son to be born of a virgin birth because he loved us so much - that he did whatever it took to save us even the death of his only son, John 3:16. Why, to make a difference, a difference in our lives and that of others. And as Christ grew he continued to do just that. All through the Gospels of the Bible time and time again they tell of how Jesus made a difference in the lives of others and he said we were to be like him. We are to do the same exact thing... make a difference in the lives of others. As you think of how you will spend the rest of this year, this CHRISTmas season, think of the lives you will touch. All the people that you will go through life with, all the strangers you will come in contact with and the family that you will share each and every moment with - how do you want to make a difference in their lives? Let's don't stop there, when the new year comes let's continue till the end of our days or our Lord Jesus Christ comes to take us home. That is the purpose of life to make a difference... in the lives of others! Thank you for making such an impact on my life, so many have really touched my heart and helped God make me who I am today! May God continue to enrich your lives!

God bless...
