I hope my future contains some of those jewels. Who says you can’t take it with you?!

“I hope my future contains some of those jewels. Who says you can’t take it with you?!”

‘Nuff said right there, miss marmelstein.

Store up your treasures in heaven, not on earth. If you are a believer, then you may very well have jewels like that in the next life but that should not be what you strive for here. I believe God looks upon this with disgust, quite frankly. When I think of the many needy people back in those days and all this wealth being given in this manner..it makes my stomach turn.

After all, it was not the wealthy man who went to paradise but the poor beggar who had nothing. We are to care for others while they are living...the dead need nothing except the care taken to bury them properly and with dignity.

Matthew 6:19-21 19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
