Something I have always wondered ...
What am I living for?
I know everyone has some sort of purpose in this world. I'm in my 30's and haven't figured out what mine is yet. Is it just to be the mother of my children? Or the wife of my husband? Hmmmm ...
I often wonder what I do that is important ....
So I have decided to break it down. I would love to hear from other people ... no matter how mundane you THINK your life is ... YOU have an impact and are important to others!!
1. I am a mother to 5 wonderful children.
2. I teach these children morals, love, respect, how to live a good fulfilling and happy life ... but that it isn't easy!
3. I also give these things to my children.
4. I am a wife. A loving, understanding, kind wife that can also be moody and tempermental ... but am very devoted and thoughtful of how my husband feels.
5. I support adults with learning disabilities. Without me (or people like me) these people might not get to live normal, happy and everyday lives. A lot of them would have to live in institutions, if their families couldn't take care of them anymore.
6. I am a friend. Not to very many, as I am strange and do not fit into any clicks ... but to anyone who likes a good laugh, needs someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on. I am there!
7. I am a stranger. I know that I do not belong in this world ... that God has a higher calling for me and many others ... I do not walk as though I am better than anyone else ... we are all equals ... we are all strangers .... noone knows one another fully and completely ... so even your bestfriend in the world can tell you something new ...
8. I am a guest ... as I know that I will not be on the Earth forever (nobody is) I treat the Earth with respect ... recycle, reuse, no littering ... trying to be friendly and less wasteful (saves me a lot of money)
These are the things I could think of, I know it doesn't seem like much ..
But when I went through my depression, it was explained to me that all the things I do ... impact many others. Even the fact that I try to be a good wife and mother! It leaves an impression on those looking into our little boxes and sometimes inspires others! It leaves a huge impact on our children and they carry it with them ... all the things we do carry on through the generations ..
