Purpose

The definition of “purpose” is as follows:  The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.  Have you ever thought about what your purpose is in life?  This is something I never really thought about until recently.  When I was younger, I didn’t care what my purpose was.  I just wanted to grow up, have fun, respect my parents, love my neighbor, find a hobby and play some sports.  Somewhere along the line, I decided to go to college, get an education and a job, because I realized that I needed to earn a few bucks to pay the bills.  Apparently, I wasn’t going to live at home forever.  I also found a girl, got married, had 2 kids and bought a house.  I went to church and found the Lord, but it was just something of a routine.  It seemed to me that I was just living here on earth, but really wasn’t serving any purpose.   But it wasn’t until recent years when I started thinking that there actually might be a real purpose for me being here.  I still have no idea what that might be or where life may lead me, but there has got to be something else.  It can’t just be this…not that I am unhappy or anything, but it sure feels like God has something in store for me in the near future.  I will let you know what that is once I find it.
