In search of significance ... continued ...

Last night, I asked these questions after a series of disappointments in life:

Why does one even bother to get up each day and continue with life? Where does one muster the energy to wake up every morning and live on when the people around all seem to only be interested in getting their own agendas accomplished?

I come back from the usual Sunday outing and was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from fellow sojourners whom I met at a leadership training in Hawaii almost two years ago. During our convocation in early 2005 among an international audience, we all sang this song "Find us faithful" while I danced ... it was a very meaningful and powerful call upon our lives ... today, I recognize it as the impartation of a calling for each of us to live a life of significance.

May you also find this empowering as we journey towards becoming good stewards of all that we have been entrusted with in life ...

Artist: Steve Green on "Find us faithful"

FIND US FAITHFUL

We’re pilgrims on the journey of a narrow road
And those who’ve gone before us light the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament
To God’s sustaining grace

Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race, not only for the prize
But as those who’ve gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through Godly lives

Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave, lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we’ve left behind
May the clues that they discover
And the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find

Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave, lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful.
