I agree with you! The litany of "it does not matters" do matter. The combination of all our experiences (matters) make us who we are and bring us to this moment. It does matter.
Times I have felt most alive:
When I caught my first fish (that feeling of life/pull at the end of my fishing line gave me a real rush!)
Encounters with God (when I could literally feel him lay on top of me, in comfort, peace and Fatherly presence . . . The experience of God and His REALNESS), When I bird watch, listen to the coyotes yelp and howl in our backyard (yes, for real), walking my dog, feel the wind, soak in the warmth of Spring's sun, waterfalls (all things water), loving my husband, scuba diving in Belize (coming face to face with vivid color/beautiful tropical fish), having babies, experiencing birth, witnessing death to this life, anything Heaven (hearing people stories r/t their experiences of it), deep thought, pondering the readings of Awakin.org., knowing I am loved, driving my first car, answered prayer, And (I have to be honest) meeting you.
Please Lord, hear David. That we ALL might experience "feeling alive" . . . And know it/he very much matters.
