What Matters?

     What matters? You do. Your every thought, your every word, your dreams and your hopes. Your laughter matters, your tears, your joy and your love. All that you are, matters.
     Are you happy? Is your heart free? These things are important and they do matter. Oh! How we suffer because we are not valued by our world. Our life maybe nothing to them but to me our life is a precious gift from God. Our life does matter even if no one else thinks so. The Lord die for me and you so he does believe that we matter.
     The hard hearted ones there is an absence of love but the soft hearted ones continues to care. Life does matter to those who can still love. Life is not nothing in their eyes. They cherish it just as the Lord does. The hate we carry within our heart can destroy our lives but the forgiveness and the love of God can save us. What is within your heart does matter.
     We look around us and try to make sense of it. We want to find our place upon this world. I asked this question, "Why do we even exist if it does not really matter?" We exist for a reason and I believe it was not just to die. There is something here to be learned and to be found and I will try my best to learn it and to find it.
      I found these things to be true in my life. The words of God gives me comfort and his promises gives me hope. People who unselfishly reach out and help others raises my spirit. People who believe and practices the will of God lightens my soul. A man and a woman who loves each other and their children and their children loving them back makes me happy. A friend who can understand me and cares bring me much joy. A good meal, good health, a good summers day, a place to sleep at night, a place to call my home and being around my family and friends are things that matters to me.
     The things of the heart and the things of the soul really matters to me and I believe it matters to you as well. I am not an island unto myself and separated from the world. I still wish to be apart of it in someway. I want to feel that I belong and will be respected by others. Our relationship to each other does matter. How we are treated and how we treat others matters greatly.
     Our life matters and all life around us. All things that we do or do not do effects our life and it matters. What really matters is our continuing of our life's journey from the beginning and to the end so to find all the things that truly matters to us.
