Why

2781

Who can trust come what may?

 

Who understands enough to find the way?

 

Putting labour in a bag with holes:

 

Idols of silver; idols of gold:

 

All to be thrown to the bats and the moles. 

 

Durable riches and righteousness, for those that confess:

 

Blessed to be a blessing: comes with rest.

    Can't take any of it to the grave. And the amount of trouble we go through in life for such vainglory and striving! 🕊️🙏
