When Marilyn Monroe died in 1962, her former husband, Joe DiMaggio ordered a black vase filled with fresh roses to be set on her crypt twice a week forever. The roses arrived promptly each week until 1971, when "forever" must have ended.
Despite our best intentions, nothing of this world will last forever, except those things which have been invested in the work of God. That which is invested in the work of God will always reap ETERNAL dividends!
