The more and more profiles I read, I see a lot of people want to live a long life.... but, what are you doing to make that life meaningful now?

    That is the age old question - what is the meaning of life. How can one's life be made most meaningful?

    1. Lend a helping hand to those who need it.
    2. Love your family - mend those broken relationships
    3. Be a good person - do unto others...
    4. "Shower the people you love with love'" - James Taylor
    5. Create happiness for you and those around you.

    Everybody has a different way to measure a meaningful life.
    These are some of the things I try to do.

    Raising smart, well rounded, joyful children. They are by far my most important job and purpose. I'm working on my own happiness as well. Laughing as much as possible. Being patient and kind as often as possible. Being gracious.

    From my profile page:

    "I fully believe that I am one of God's miracles. Late last year, He touched me with His grace and mercy as only He can. I intend to hold on to His hand, and go wherever He leads me. In order for me to do that, I need to ensure that I am healthy enough to do it, AND to be a good steward of this body He has given me. With God's help, all things are possible,"

    What makes my life meaningful?

    Service to God, and to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. God blesses me with great joy for simple acts of kindness and love towards other people. He blesses me with UNBELIEVABLE peace just for the simple act of trusting in Him and doing what He asks of me when He puts it on my heart to do something. He showers me with love simply for showering others with love.

    In giving these things away, love and kindness, He returns them to me sevenfold. In complete surrender to His will, there is total victory, and in total trust, there is perfect peace.

    I try and keep my will centered under God's will. My goal is to treat each person I meet with the dignity and respect that I would give to God, regardless of their apparent "station" in life, and to show them God's love. It is so much easier to share the Gospel of salvation when you actually live out the life as Christ intended it to be lived, EVERY DAY, and not just for a couple of hours on Sunday.

    Am I perfect? Heck no!!!! I'm a bum, a screw up, and a sinner, just like everyone else. But through Christ, my past is forgiven, and to show my LOVE for Him, I LIVE for Him!

    Where there is love, there is no fear.

    THAT, to me, is the abundant life!!!!
