Meaning of Life



When a traveller is lost and they ask for directions
You're able to point them in the right direction
When a student has a question and needs an answer
You're able to help them learn how to find it
When an elderly person has trouble getting up
You're able to lend a helping hand to them
When a neighbor needs you more than ever
You're able to be there and help them through and through
When an animal has been injured and needs help
You're able to take it to a veteninarian to recover
When there is someone in need of help or assistance
You're able to stop everything and be their guiding light

The meaning of Life. In God's eyes we are all children of God.
Helping each other and knowing how to be a good person. Moving
the world in the right direction. Shining light down upon those who
have lost all hope. Deciding to do good deeds and block out all evil
that may come your way. Treating each other with Respect and to
have a purpose by being there for someone is the meaning of Life.
