That is the question that I am thinking about today. What is it that I want to do while here on this earth? What am I supposed to do while here?
Christians may ask what we are called to do while here on earth, but what I am finding is that my calling in life is often shown through my deepest sense of loss if I go to heaven now. Let's face it, if you died today and went to heaven you aren't sad. You are having the best time in your life, and you aren't regretting what you didn't do on earth. However, this line of questioning is a good way to be proactive while we are here on earth and may have the chance to reduce our list of regrets. So here is my list. It is short and sweet, because honestly, I don't have a huge to do list from God while I am here. It may be never ending, but it isn't overwhelming.
1. I wouldn't be here to raise my kids
2. I wouldn't be here to grow old with my husband
3. I wouldn't be able to help share the gospel with my neighbors in Maine, Africa, and beyond.
4. I wouldn't be able to help parents redefine how they educate their children
Now, I shall take this list, compare it to our list of goals for our family (yes, we have those, and you should too!), and redirect my steps.
What would your list look like?
