Each one of us has its own inspiration in life, be it someone or something that makes life for us worth living. For me, my family is the reason why I always pray to God to add more years to my life so that I can spend more quality time with my loved ones.What makes life for you worth living?

Before I became a christia it was my family that comes first, but when I became a christian I found out that there is a heiarchy to follow that God first, then family second, career third and ministry fourth. Now I try to live my life in this setting, I even resigned from work to put my family second and now I just work from home so I can look after my family first. And that is my reason for living now to put God first in my life and the rest will follow.

Nice hierarchy of priorities in life. I'm sure this will serve as a better guide in our lives. Working from home is probably the best preference a mom can choose. Putting God above all is the best decicion every human being can ever make.

My family make my life worth living. I have my mother and my sister. It is so wonderful that we now live in the same area quite close to one another. I have my teenager son aged 15 years old, my disabled toddler son aged 3 years old and my baby daughter aged 18 months old. My favorite hobby is traveling to different countries and I need to go somewhere new at least once a year. Last year I traveled with my toddler son and baby daughter to Vancouver. During my pregnancy with my baby daughter I took my toddler son to Cape Town and the Garden Route. So far in my life I have traveled to more than 50 different countries in the world. I am fond of my bungalow which I live in. Living here makes me life easier than it used to be. My disabled son is unable to walk and there are no stairs to have to carry him up. So therefore it is ideal for me and my family.

Glad to know that your mother & sister live near you.It's a great advantage because you don't have to hire anyone or maybe a stranger to entrust your kids when the situation calls for it, 'coz you can always leave them with people you trust. You have such a very worthwhile hobby, travelling is cool, you get to see beautiful places & meet different people from all races & walks of life. You are such a very lucky person because everything in life becomes easier for you & convenient too.Thanks for the response & for sharing your experience & your time!

Of course I would have to say my my/your kids. I love seeing the world through their eyes. Everything is new, and it's like experiencing something new all over again.

True,kids have the most pure & innocent view of life.With them, everything seems fresh & full of fun.I'm also a mother & being one is really a very wonderful experience. One single innocent remark is enough to drive the stress away. They can make us laugh & lighten our moods.Sometimes, we also learn from them not only about modern technologies but also some great lessons in life 'coz they are also capable of giving funny yet logical & no-nonsense ideas about life.
