The Foolish Rich Man

There was a certain rich man who had a large farm. One day, he looked around and realized he had many posessions. In fact, his posessions were so great that he did not have enough space to store his harvest. To solve his storage problems, he decided to tear down his buildings and build larger ones so that he would then have plenty of room for all his crops. Then, he said I will then retire since I have it made with all these crops and eat drink and be merry. That night, while he slept, the Lord said to him You are such a fool! Tonight your soul will be required of you! In other words, It's time to die! Then whose will these crops belong to which you labored so hard to aquire? The lesson here is that your life does not consist of the things that you posess.
