The Good Life

We talk about the "Good Life", but what is the Good Life today? Is it a life style of good times -- financial security, or something else?

In Calcutta, Mother Teresa lived a life of serving. Too her, this was the good life. She never complained, and never had a desire to change the life she lived. That life was a life of giving to others. She has been quoted to say, "God doesn't call me to be successful, but to be faithful. This was the Good Life in her eyes.

In Psalm 31:23, the psalmist says, "The Lord preserves the faithful". We have to say that Mother Teresa was truly faithful throughout her life. What is your definition of The Good Life?
