In 100 years, we will be dead and buried along with our friends and relatives. Strangers will live in our homes which we fought so hard to build or buy. They will have sorted and dispersed everything we have today. All our possessions will be gone and unknown.
Our descendants will hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. Whom among you (non-genealogists) knows of your grandfather's father?
After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone's bookshelf, and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear into history's oblivion. We won't even be memories.
If we pause to analyze these points, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream was to achieve it all. If we could only think about this, surely our approaches and our thoughts would change. We would be different people and make time for what's really valuable in this life... We'd enjoy the walks we never took, the hugs we didn't give, the laughter we didn't share, the vacations we postponed, the family portraits we never scheduled. Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all, they would fill our lives with joy.
And we waste it, day after day, with greed and selfishness on matters of no importance. And time - just ticks, ticks, ticks... Away....

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Jesus is the ultimate of important matters in this life. We have faith that we will know and enjoy eternity with Him and our grandfather's father and ALL who gave their lives to the Lord, entrusting Him to save us from certain damnation.
