The heart is the only place to keep your treasures.
They are the people you love. We are sometimes complaining that we need this and that but, if you have lost a part of your heart, you will really leave all the things on earth that you think you need here and just try to get back what you lost.
I have a friend who lost a child, one of the biggest gifts that God can give us, and therefore she would build a stairway to heaven if it was at all possible.
We are all so into what we want instead of just being happy with what we have.
The older you get the more you think back, and no one can take your memories, you have of wonderful times with your family away from you.
They are all buried in your heart and mind; maybe you tell the story to many times as when you get older you are inclined to repeat yourself sometimes.
People should forgive this, as these are in your heart and mind and just sit and listen to you.
We do not make time for our older people anymore because life is moving too fast. Why not sit and listen to someone talking about their memories as they are the treasures they have left after living a long hard life.
Maybe it is because young people are making their own memories.
As we get older our bodies start telling us that we must take it slower, and that is when we want our children and friends.
Nothing you get on this earth, houses, cars, whatever can take the place of memories you have in your heart.
The day we leave this earth is the day that everything we have accomplished and we have thought was important stay behind and all we take with us is nothing but the things we came into the world with.
That was nothing. Because God made us from dust, and that is what we return to. So enjoy what you have and be thankful.
The most wonderful gift we can get, is if God says you were good enough to go to the Kingdom of Heaven and there you will not be hungry, nobody steals, cries, hurt you at all. That will be eternal happiness.
Have a wonderful day and be happy.
