Bible Texts:
This hackneyed
phrase has been around for some years, and of course it is true,
“you'll never see a uhaul behind a hearse.” In other words, you
can't take it with you, money, friends, etc. etc. When you leave this
world, you take nothing with you.
As great as this
idea is, this is not completely true. The fact is you do take
“things,” with you when you leave this life.
What we take with
us:
* Memories.
* A record
of our works we have done, and their reward, good or
evil (Not that good works will save us, they can not!)
