You Can't Take It With You

Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;
For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
His glory will not descend after him.

Psalm 49:16-17

I did not know the Bible said that.  It is so true.  When we leave this life for the other side, there will be no Brink’s truck following us to the cemetery. 

Our best hedge is to be sure we have liberally distributed our wealth, no matter how great or how meager, where we want it to go. 

Christmas is a giving time.  What better time, to give a little away?  Buy a toy for a needy child or give a few dollars to the Salvation Army or bake a pie for a free dinner.

Your gift will be gratefully received and your heart will sing.
