-that old raggedy shoe was once a
die for
-some one worked two jobs and got
a rise in blood pressure to get that old computer lying there.
-some one stole and killed to get
the old out of use car now lying there in a hundred different pieces.
-a home got broken because of
some of this junk.
-some one sold his or her soul
for what you see lying there.
-a nation has been destroyed in
one way or another for this junk.
-friendships were lost forever so
one day this junk yard will get more…
-even the soil on which it lies
still suffers from this junk.
I can’t tell you all the horrible things we
must have done to get the many things that have ended in this place. Most at
times we always go to wrong places for answers. If you want a good meeting with
yourself, visit the junk yard; visit the cemetery. These places can tell you
truths you will find nowhere else in the world. The junk yard tells us the
worthless things we have allowed take priority in our lives. We pursue junk so
badly that; love, friendship, family, and most important healthy living have
lost their values in our lives.
Go to the cemetery and look at all those people. They once had life like
you. They had many goals and they planned the future as though life were never
to end. Death is our inevitable fate. Life as long as we choose to see it is
very, very short. That is not the bad news; the bad news is that we have chosen
to spend this short and precious life investing in junk. We want to buy
everything; we want to have everything. Most of what we stress to get only ends
up in the junk yard. I hold nothing against material possessions, but there are
things worth fighting for that would not end up in the junk yard; love,
friendship and family. These things live on even after we die. These are things
worth protecting. Do not replace these things with vanities that will be trash
in a short time.
Life is so beautiful. Let us fight to uphold it. All the treasures of
this world put together can not measure up to a single life. Human life is
eternal. What will it profit a man to have all the world can offer and lose his
soul?
When our leaders realize that the people under them come before all the
junk they so much desire; our land will change. When we the people realize we
are worth more than junk, we shall unite to build a nation that will not be
broken. Our lives are short, but we can make the best of it by protecting
values that will last. We can make the best of it by investing in lives and not
junk. Our bodies are junk. Some day it goes to dust. Our souls are priceless
treasures. They are worth protecting. Do not corrupt your soul! Nothing can be
worst.
Whenever you visit the junk yard,
ask yourself this' Is this where I invest my God given resources and life
time?' You got the answer.
