Finding Our Calling -- The Meaning of Life
outstanding father or mother, a leader, or a good
Samaritan. Then do with all your might the thing or the
things that you're good at
do~ng.
God gave everyone at
least one talent.

Be a good listener! God directs our path in many
ways. Find out your talents. What do you get excited
about? How do you spend your time now? Be ready to
try new paths as you grow, even if they seem narrow
and uncomfortable. Sometimes the one that feels like
a comfortable shoe isn't God's calling. Pray about it!
Life only has meaning when God is placed first in your
life. He guides, challenges, directs, and comforts you
in time of trouble. He gives a reason for being on this
earth. Because of this meaning, you gain strength to
accomplish the impossible.

The meaning of life as I see it is wonderful! The
birth of a new born, the making and developing -- there
is nothing like it in this world. God planned that. We
should enjoy life. Do things that are right and not
destroy ourselves with evil or wrong doings. What a
wholesome life! Do many things and see lots everyday.
Thank God. Try what we feel is to our liking and ability.
If that isn't suited for me, try something else. But do
something! Not everyone wants to be a doctor or can
be a doctor. Not everyone wants or can be a ditch
digger, but with God's help, we can and should find
work. If we don't work, we don't eat.
