what matters?

We're only on this earth for a short time, a flicker in time, and then we are gone.  I am reminded of this especially when someone passes away.  I realize that my own life is but a vapor.  This earth will continue ... there will be new celebrities to obsess over (is it worth the time?), new discoveries and cures, and new issues (war, etc...).  What is important today may not be in the next generation.  When I look into the eyes of my son, I wonder what he will be like and what his world will be like?  I wonder if I will be around to meet his children?  Either way, it is our responsibility as parents to pass on to them what we believe and what matters most.

1.  Life is worthless without love.  In other words, relationships is what life is all about.  Cultivate them and cherish them for they are what life is made of.

2.  Love is forever.  Love leaves a legacy. Mother Teresa said, “It’s not what you do, but how much love you put into it that matters.”

3.  We will be judged on love.  What did we do for others?
