If I could find the verses from the Scriptures that sum up my goals in life they would be these: For life purpose: Ezra 7:10 "Ezra set his heart to study the law of the Lord and to practice it and to teach its decrees....for the good hand of his God was upon him." For marriage: Proverbs 31:12 "She does him good and not evil all the days of her life." For my kids: 3 John 4 "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. Anything beyond that is just gravy. :)
