It is said that every person has a life story. I believe that is partially true. I think that a person’s life has many life stories. Their life story is an example of a person, their circumstances, and their resolution of those circumstances. It can be and should be part of their legacy. The question is, do many people even recognize what their life story is? A life story should be recognized for it’s value while you are living it. If you are of a benevolent mindset, you will realize that your life story has a purpose…one that others could learn from. It could have the power to touch lives, transform lives and empower them to live their life story to the fullest. Often people read biographies of people who are famous or who have been instrumental during a certain part of history. It is because someone has taken the time to write it down. I wonder, if we each took the time to write our life stories would it be a good read?
Have you ever read a book that was boring, or seemed to have no direction or purpose? Some people live their life that way. Often, people will reach a point in their life when what they value most is threatened or is lost to them. It is only then that they understand why they value what they do…and what they were supposed to do with the gifts that they were blessed with. For others, it is the trying times in their life that seems to highlight some sort of life lessons that they were meant to teach, inspire or encourage others with.
My pastor says that there is a difference between purpose and assignments. He says that we are trusted with many assignments; and, that they are in alignment with our pupose in life but, that we only have one true purpose. What do you think your life story is? What are you supposed to accomplish? Do you think it would benefit anyone to read your life story if you were to write it? What would it say…what would you wish to communicate to others if you had the opportunity?

Rainy, Rainy, Rainy!
You never fail to hit my hot buttons! Yes, of course, I MUST write the book that lives inside of me. But it will not be MY story; I will only be one of the characters in it and I mean that in the LITERARY sense, not LITERAL. Who would call ME a character?
Your blog is one of my MUSTS every day. How lovely it is when you pop up with more than one post!
Hugs galore,
Mother Connie
We all have a story, a purpose. We should all have the opportunity to discover it. Rainy, I really like reading your blogs. Thanks for sharing!
