on where are we laying our treasures...

ah, found this delightful little book in my workplace's library. A word in time and in season:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"     He who lays up treasures on earth spends his life backing away from his treasure. To him, death is loss.

     He who lays up treasures in heaven looks forward to eternity; he's moving daily toward his treasures. To him, death is gain.

     He who spends his life moving away from his treasures has reason to despair. He who spends his life moving towards his treasures has reason to rejoice.
 
    Are you despairing or rejoicing? "
 
- Ending portion of Chapter 2, Randy Alcorn, The Treasure Principle: Discovering the Secret of Joyful Giving, Multnomah Publishers Inc., 2001.
