Use of life and lives

Question

I want to send a message to a group of people. like
"folks, i hope you are having a good time in your lives." Is this statement correct? Or it should be like "folks, I hope you are having a good time in our life."

Means they will know that i am referring to group of people but the message will go to them separately and they will know which all people i am sending these to.

Thanks!

Correction, Sorry the second part was "folks, I hope you are having a good time in your life."  Its "your"  not "our".

I suggest that you just say: I hope you are having a good time! Nobody has a good time after they are dead.

Haha, they can have a good time after they are dead if they reach heaven.

On the answer , Yes, i got it. But suppose if i am referring to a bunch of schoolmates after a long time, and i want to stress on if they are all well settled in their life/lives (again confused here what to use) now. Then how should i say if i want to keep the message short.
