He had no heirs so all his belongings was either put on the sidewalk to be collected or his vehicle was hauled off. His home was torn down and the city auctioned his property off. Within 24 months, 4 new homes went up and it's like he never existed. There's wisdom in the saying: "Life Goes On". That's how temporary life is.

When it comes time to meet your maker, everyone leaves this planet with the same amount of wealth, which is 0. So many fall into the trap that they own stuff and more stuff, when in reality we pay to use stuff.<br /><br />When it is our turn to take a dirt nap, someone else will get to use, abuse or destroy all the stuff we slaved and stressed over. The bottom line is, material things on this planet are all temporary. As the beach picture showed, it's best to stop and smell lots of roses because you can't take it with you when it's time to say goodbye to this planet.Rod Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892085143658761123noreply@blogger.com
