even if you are not a christian and even if you do not believe in god or a higher power, the point of this is that you should live your life to the best of your ability and leave some sort of mark when you are gone.. whether it is helping a child in need, or a friend, being a listening ear for someone that needs it, doing good things and being a good person... that is the point... but for me, i want to live my life spiritually sound and be the person that people go to in times of need... my kids are going to know what it is like to GIVE BACK... i don't think you can ever appreciate all that life has to offer unless you know what others that are not as fortunate, are going through.. and to lend a helping hand... what could be a better feeling then to actually make a difference in someone's life...
