What is life?

The sound of my heart fills my ears, as I walk through the people filled streets. The sound of cars flashing past me with strangers driving to their unknown destinations. As I walk through the streets I see many types of people, people of color, business men and women, construction workers, and many other people. Through all the chaos that I am walking through I stop to think. What is the purpose of life? These cars that pass me by are going at great speeds to get to where they want. These people are all on their cellphones and bluetooths. These people surrounding me live for work live for money and possessions. Is this what life is about? Wealth? In the mitsed of these things going through my head I see a boy and his father. This boy is not an ordinary boy. This boy has special needs. His father loves him so much. This love is not the same love that these people of wealth have. This father has the greatest kind of love for his son. He would lay his own life down for the life of his son if he had to. Even though there is such joy and love in this picture the world goes on. The cars keep passing. The people keep walking. None of them see how precious this show of love is. I think once again. Is this not a example of how God loves us? That he is always there for us helping us and keeping us from danger? In this short moment God showed me that he is there. There for my needs there to help me. I walk by the father and son, smile, tell them thank you and proceed to walk. Walk with more purpose and an answer to the question of life.
