My purpose is _________.
It seems a lot of people my age tend to ponder the idea of what exactly their purpose is in life. I used to believe my purpose needed to be tied somehow to business or some outside activity that benefited other people or society. Over the last few years however I have come to wonder if my purpose really isn’t just to be a great dad and caregiver for Kinley while she needs it the most. At this time of my life I can’t think of anything more important than being present for Kinley as much as possible and also trying to help my wife with all of the challenges that we face day to day. Maybe for right now that is all I’m supposed to be concerned with and then in a future stage of my life I’ll have a different purpose where I can impact other people. I've often thought what if I would have been a lousy dad to a “typical” child and perhaps I'm better suited to raise a daughter with Kinley's needs. If it’s true that our God given gifts are to help us fulfill our purpose then maybe mine are already doing just that.

Indeed, my friend. Do you know how many people never realize that where they are right now is where they're meant to be? Happy Easter and much love to all of you!
ReplyDeleteVery well said!! We always try to form our lives by how we think it should look -- forgetting that it's God's plan and will for our lives that is the ultimate way!
