“Naked I came forth from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I go back again.” (From Job 1:6-22)
We enter the world with nothing but the love of God and family…we leave the world with nothing but the love of God and family…so why do we spend so much time hoarding stuff we can’t take with us? Why do we spend so much time building up treasures that won’t help our eternal souls? Why do we spend so much time trying to be popular or powerful? Why do we spend so much time on social media either exaggerating about our own lives or snooping into the lives of celebrities and others? If we come into the world with nothing and leave with nothing physical…let’s get to work building up the spiritual treasures that we can take to Heaven—love, charitable acts, service to those in need, time in prayer, mercy towards all, making peace, compassion, and kindness towards all! Amen!
