(JOB 7:6, TLB)Do you remember George Bailey, the main character in the classic movie, It's a Wonderful Life? He sinks into a serious depression and even considers ending his life because of his unrealized dreams and feelings of uselessness.

With the help of Clarence, an angel, George is shown the impact of the specific relational assignments in which he has been critically needed over the years.

He comes to realize that there has been a clear purpose in his life all along.

He discovers that his life has mattered and still matters a great deal.

I had less laundry, cooking, shopping, and homework assistance to worry about than when we were together as a family.

I lived like a divorced princess.
