About To Lose Everything?

We believe in heaven
Yet desperately cling to this life.
We look to the other side and the transition with fear, foreboding, and dread. As if there was nothing better.
"I'm about to lose everything!"
We have all heard it from someone either on TV or a close friend sometime in our lives.
So what exactly is everything? What most mean by everything is material stuff. Don't get me wrong, losing material stuff can be traumatic; but it's not really everything, it's just stuff. This lifetime and the stuff in it is NOT everything. It's something but it sure isn't everything. How we live, What we look forward to, What we focus on, What we long for And what we lament over is largely determined by what we view as everything and what we view as the biggest thing.
Make sure your everything is not "things" and often when you do that
..."everything" is alright.
Live like this?














Or Live like this?
















You make the choice.
