Note: May God help us to lay up treasures that will help our souls to gain eternal life. The things of this world will all pass away and we will leave here as we came into this world-with nothing. Let us always remember that true living does not consist of the things we possess, but what we are and what we can do for others- and that the love of money is the root of all evil.
