It's been said, jokingly, that there is a parking lot outside of the Pearly Gates reserved for the trailers and trucks of those folks who thought they might be able to take it with them when they die. Yep, there are no U-Hauls on the golden streets of Heaven. While it is a "joking" kind of truth, there are folks who do life in such a manner so as to suggest that doing the life grind is all about accumulating such things as wealth, fame, stuff, fancy toys, accolades, and the list goes on.
What so often suffers the most with those poor souls is their relationship with others, and with God. They are seemingly living full lives, but without healthy relationships with others and with God, aren't their lives really, in the long term scheme of things, shallow? They have succumbed to the "monster of more."
Are you more interested in what you're going to put into your U-Haul or all of those, including God, with whom you need to be in relationship?
