very interesting point!!!! I like it!
I guess I should ask... what is the most extravagant thing in your possession. hehehe
but you are very right. the physical life is a vapor - and often DOES end without any warning.
however, for the time that I am here... I love that my children found something that would delight me - and bought it and is sitting on my counter, reminding me of their love for me. because I would never have bought this for myself. I couldn't justify it!! hehehe but they loved me enough to say that it was worth it for them to spend their money to see my HUGE smile when I walked out to the kitchen table and saw it hehehee
so - that is exactly what this is for me... a small measure of their love. because it is indeed small compared to the love they have for me!
thanks for bringing your insight to this post!!! i love it :)
