What is the purpose of my life? I realize even more today that life is to be spent in loving others and in listening to God whispering to me throughout this day, the ways to be more loving. I must be simple. I must listen carefully. I must be gently loving. I must let go of all negative thinking and speaking. My soul will be at rest when I do this. There is such inner freedom when I do this and the pain of loss, well embraced, allows God to take over and draw me closer. Again, INTO YOUR HANDS, O LORD, I COMMEND MY SPIRIT.
