Meaning of Life

I heard it once said that our life is like choir practice for heaven.

Your statement about "life is like choir practice" brings me both
joy and sadness:
Joy because I am eligible to "sing" in heaven;
Sadness because my life has had many "sour notes".

Unfortunately I am the same. My life has had some very sour notes. I can't erase them either, so I just trust God to take what of me is left. None of us is perfect, but God can use whatever little we have for his greater glory.

“How do you know what is going to happen tomorrow?
For the length of your lives is as uncertain as the morning fog—
now you see it; soon it is gone.”
James 4:14

Meaning of life:
1. Our life is being poured out moment by moment.
2. Life is like a coin:
3. You can spend it any way you want
4. But you can only spend it once

We are all marred vessels that have produced sour notes. But God is the maestro who turn all sour notes into sweet melodies. There error of Scott Richard's definition on the meaning of life is that it excludes the work of God in our lives. God is the meaning of life, for he alone is life. He is not sour notes, but a joyous symphony. The fall of mankind and the sin in the world is a glitch in the creation, a mere hiccup in the backdrop of eternity. The meaning of life is to allow God to remold and reshape up is into new instruments sung for his glory.

Mine too, it's difficult at times not to think of the many mistakes done.

I love the quotation from Archbishop Desmond Tutu:
No it cannot be undone,
The pain cannot be unmade
The life cannot be un-lived
The time will not run backward
You cannot un-choose your choice
But the pain can be healed
Your choices can be redeemed
Your life can be blessed
And love can bring you home.
