WHAT IS LIFE ALL ABOUT?



 


A number of years ago,  I attended a “Focus Over Fifty” conference at the Focus on the Family headquarters in Colorado Springs. Dr. James Dobson, founder and president, spoke to the captive audience of senior saints on the topic The Second Half of Life.

 

He emphasized the brevity of life and concluded by saying he would like the following inscribed on his tombstone:

“When I reach the end of my days, a moment or two from now, I must look backward on something more meaningful than the pursuit of houses and land and machines and stocks and bonds. Nor is the fame of any a lasting benefit. I will consider my earthly existence to have been wasted unless I can recall a loving family, a consistent investment in the lives of people, and an earnest attempt to serve the God who made me. Nothing else makes much sense.”

For centuries people have searched for the meaning to their existence. Why am I here? What is the purpose for my life? These are the questions each one of us must answer.





LIFE LESSONS

These are a few  things  about life:

1. Every day is a gift from God. Don’t waste it, but use it to the fullest. There isn’t time to complain or fret about what can’t be changed.


2. Laughter is the cushion for life. It helps smooth out the rough edges and makes the difficult places bearable. Nothing cures a heavy heart any faster than a good belly laugh!




3. Memories are the stuff that life is made of. Take time for celebrations, parties, family vacations, and hanging out with friends…it all goes by too fast.

4. It’s okay to cry. Tears are good for you. There is something about crying that helps to heal your heart and God really takes notice when we shed tears.





5. Don’t forget that the end is just the beginning—heaven is forever! The most important thing in life is to make sure your heart is right with God. Don’t give Him the leftovers, make Him No. 1.
