In your words please describe what life is for you. What is the purpose of it and do you really believe there is a meaning

All the things around in the world are life that God gave to us. Life's purpose is not merely on ourselves and our own goals. It is for God. We are made by God and so our life should be dedicated to Him. That's the true meaning of our life.

The purpose of my life is to take care of my daughter and see her grow up, get married, and have children of her own. Before I had her I was trying to understand the meaning of life and my purpose here. Now I finally see that its to survive and reporduce. Family is the purpose because everything around life like your daily rituals any why you do them all go back to the same reason and that is to survive.

For me it is my children. My daughter turned 5 today. She has grown so very much. And I helped her along that path. And hopefully she will help her along the path for her children. I am due to have another baby before the end of the year. Children and family are our pieces of imortality.

Of course there is a meaning and the meaning of life is different for every person. I believe that life is a learning experience and that everyone is here for a purpose, one we may not be aware of and may never be aware of. The purpose of my life, I believe, is to love and care for my family and my extended family. Since my husband's late wife was someone I knew many years ago before I knew him, I also believe that my purpose is to love and care for her children and grandchildren who she was forced to leave behind at the age of 51 and to help them to heal, which I believe that I have.
