Why We Are Here

"There is a place that you are to fill that no one else can fill, something you are to do, which no one else can do."  Florence Scovel Shinn

I love the writings of Florence Scovel Shinn.  Humans may be the only creatures who ponder why we are here.  There are teachers, like Scovel Shinn, who teach that each of us is here for a reason.  Have you figured out why you are here, what the thing is for you to do that no one else can do?  This is not about arrogance; it is actually about humility.  If we believe that we are here to live a purpose and to use the God-given gifts that only we have, that can give our lives meaning.  In the midst of the challenges that all of our lives contain, we can find meaning.  Why are you here?
