Do we more often take the path of working toward financial gain than the path of living for heaven?

Wonder if the finance committee has a meeting?
It seems seems that lately I have done more pondering as I've been "thinking carefully" (as Webster defines pondering) about heaven. I recently attended 3 funerals within 8 days. Factor in a heart catheterization requiring a stent for hubby and two recent hospital visitations, with one pending, and you'll understand my concern for self as well as others.
I've prayed for all and actually prayed in person with two. My heart desires a heavenly trajectory for each.
But God......in my morning reading from Randy Alcorn's book, Heaven, reminded me.....It is God who "set eternity in the hearts of men" (Ecclesiastes 3:11).....That's God's idea, not ours. (p. 114)
Salvation is God's work. (Psalm 3:8, 1 Timothy 2:4)
