*A LIFETIME LESSON :- VANITY*

*Since the funeral procession and burial activities of Queen Elizabeth began, nothing touched me as much as when the symbols of her authority of 70 unbroken years were removed from her coffin. Her sceptre, orb and crown were quietly removed and placed on the altar of God. Queen Elizabeth, as the presiding minister announced, must return back to her maker just as she came to earth 96 years ago, simply, and without the trappings of her sovereignty. It's a lifetime lesson. The reward(s) of our endless pursuits and indeed our acquisitions here will be left behind some day. May we live our lives to please our maker and return back to Him at the right time, for the imperishable crown that can never be taken from us.*
