Have you found the meaning to life?

Have you ever wondered what the meaning of life is?  Why are we here? What is our purpose, our function, our destiny?  I have found my meaning to life and if you would like to share your thoughts please do.

I have been in search of that for low these past 5 years in fact all my life but more so ever since my mother passed away.  That whole experience is for the books and I will share that in a later post....  I will say this, loosing a parent especially a mother rips the rug right out from under you and turns your world upside down. 

I am at the beginning having come through a whole lot of things in the last 5 years since her death.  I have not always lived victoriously or known that I was living victoriously until now.

Anyway, the meaning of life that is the question we are considering today and I suppose the answer is basically what it means to you.  For me it has meant discovering my passions, interests, the gifts that are in me, the things I love to do and then seeking to find that place in the world that I can be most useful and helpful to those around me.  Finding faith, having something to believe in and someone who believes in you is paramount because you cannot no matter how much you try travel alone. 

You will meet some interesting people along the way who are there to inspire, help and encourage you.  They are not always patient but they are willing to impart their experiences and their knowledge to help you as you travel along.

There is one scripture that has been my constant companion on this journey and that is

"In all thy ways acknowledge Him and he will direct your path." Pr 3:6

He has been my constant companion and I wouldnt trade this relationship for all the money in the world.

Have you found the meaning to life? What is your experience?  Care to share?
