Life!

Life! What is life all about? How come there are so many people trying to figure out what life is all about? Philosophers writing volumes, religion trying to give its view, society placing an answer, Politicians, professors, teachers, parents and even us, all trying to figure out what life is all about.
When I was 3, life to me was trying to sit on the back seat support of the rickshaw when I went to the nursery school with my cousin. At 12 it was the excitment of flying all by myself on an aeroplane to the city of Calcutta, in the nation of my birth, India. At 14 it was the thrill of having a girlfriend. At 18 it was the long journey from Madras ( chennai) to Uppsala, Sweden. At 22 it was marriage to my beautiful wife Mirjam. At 25 it was the birth of our first daughter Elsa. Oh what a day it was. I was so nervous, that the midwife told me to relax and sit down on the couch. I will never ever forget that moment when Elsa was born, and seconds after I was holding her in my hand, after cutting the the umbilical cord. Well then again at 27, it was the birth of our second daughter, Emma. This time, the whole "labor process" went quick and I was not that nervous ( guess I felt that way, because there was no midwife telling me to relax). Well now that iam 30 I still think and sometimes wonder what Life is all about.
I have come to the conclusion that "Life cannot be defined, but rather life has to be lived, in order to experience it".
Well I guess that would all for now, coz I still cant put in words what life is all about.
Or could I?
Let me try: Every human on the face of the earth has sometime wondered what life is all about.
Where do i come from, what is my purpose, how do I attain salvation and is there life after death?
These are valid, deep-seated questions that every man and woman has. It is our attempt as men and women to get to know the answers to these questions that enables us to get a hold of what life is all about.
For me, answers to these questions, that all of us have, I found in the person of Jesus Christ and the message that he preached and personified. Yes, in Jesus Christ, I have found what life is all about.
I still do wonder at times, on what life is all about, but my wondering always finds a way to the harbour, and that is, in the person of Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Saviour. Iam reminded of the words "on Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand".
