Intro:

Tom Brady, arguably the greatest American football quarterback of all time, has won seven Super Bowl rings. Many would say he has enjoyed the best life has to offer. After winning his third Super Bowl, in a TV interview for 60 Minutes, he said this:

Why do I have three Super Bowl rings and still think there’s something greater out there for me? I mean, maybe a lot of people would say, ‘Hey man, this is what it is.’ I reached my goal, my dream, my life. Me, I think, ‘It’s got to be more than this.’

• How have you sought to give meaning to your life?
• Today, what is the Author of life saying to you about the meaning of our life?
• Reflect on the meaning of Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
