why we are here

I met a man the other day.  We visited for 30 minutes.  He told me that since he retired from his job, he did not understand his purpose.

I told him what I tell people all the time... we are not here on this earth to be doctors, nurses, teachers, policemen, etc.  We are here to be kind to each other... we are here to be good to each other.

A few weeks back, my friend Bruce sent me this...

Once we realize that we are here to be kind, every moment makes sense.  It also makes us happy to be good to others.

Each day, may we remember why we are here on this earth.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
