So pleased you consider my thoughts worthy of a response. Keep thinking, searching, questioning. To paraphrase a line from an old show, your truth is out there. 😌🙏

A lot of people give thanks for their food. Many less actually think to invite God to sit at their table and share it with them.
It never hurts to ask. 😌🙏

God is always there for "HE" lives inside us.

Very strange response and surely didn't answer the question.

That is one reason why you don't need to go to church, because all you really need do is talk to yourself. Even your deepest thoughts are not private.

Serious thoughts Villagers?

A life well lived needs these characteristics, and I could go on and on...


Being authentic, a good listener, understanding, forgiving, helpful, giving, loving, accepting, kind, generous, friendly, clean, Loyal, Trustworthy, Dependable, Open-Minded, good attitude, be a mentor, flexible, responsible, respectful, compassionate, unselfish, patient, peaceful, conscientious, rational, moral, inspirational, positive, Integrity, being fair, negotiating, well mannered, self-discipline, perseverance, optimistic, Considerate, and add your own!

The best response yet. Be generous of your time, talent and treasure, you will never regret it. Do you want your legacy to be something like "well, so and so shaved 3 points off their golf score".

I won't know if I can consider my life well lived until I appear before GOD for his judgement. I doubt there are very many folks in this world that will be very proud of watching their life replayed before them. Many folks are ready and happy to live, but how many will be happy when they die?

I think the point of Nick"s post is, "you can't buy happiness". If my interpretation is correct, then I think it does relate.
