What is it about this country that makes everyone so busy, we don't realize that it's important how we spend our money as well as our time? We're so busy wrapped up in our jobs, the day-to-day details of life and material things, we don't realize that we were born with a job to do which does not include money (unless we're giving it away!)
At any moment, you are going to die. Not even your own body will go with you. Houses, cars, clothes, careers--none of those things will travel with you. Yet we spend our entire lives building those things up. For what???
No doubt you will be forced to look back on your life to see what purpose you served while you were here. And more than likely, the number one issue will be how you effected people's lives emotionally, not materially. And everyone knows we don't have the choice of reversing time to un-do and re-do what we wished we would have done while we were here.
The last words out of Albert Einstein on his death bed were, "I've done my job." Obviously he was comfortably reassured when he exited his life on Earth. How sure can you be?
Hundreds of thousands of people die every day, yet so many people are not asking themselves these same questions. Why not?

So true!!! We all get so busy in our daily lives that we forget what's really important. We need a place to live, transportation (to get to work), food, etc., but there's a big difference between having those things to live, and living to have those things. (Matt. 7:20) Wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be also. . .
In the end, none of that really matters.
