The Junkyard
"Gather your family and go visit a junkyard or a dump. Look at all the piles of 'treasures' that were formerly Christmas and birthday presents. Point out things that people worked long hours to buy and paid hundreds of dollars for, that ... marriages broke up over. Look at the remnants of gadgets and furnishings that now lie useless after their brief life span. Remind yourself that most of what you own will one day end up in a junkyard like this. And even if it survives on earth for a while, you won't.
When you examine the junkyard, ask yourself this question, 'When all that I ever owned lies abandoned, broken, useless and forgotten, what will I have done with my life that will last for eternity?"
