In case you hadn’t heard it, here’s a joke that puts things in perspective:

Rustic gold barA very wealthy man decided to prove the quote, “You can’t take it with you”, wrong. Before he died he requested that his gold be buried with him. Sure enough after his death he found himself in heaven along with his gold. He was so excited that he had actually taken it with him. He went up to St. Peter to enter the gates and exclaimed “Look at this, you can take it with you.” Peter looked at the gold in the mans hand and asked “Why would you want to bring pavement with you?”

In heaven, the streets will be made of gold.  Invest in eternal wealth today!
