Shredded U.S. Money

This bag contains approximately $100.00 of genuine currency from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Office in Washington D.C.

Illustration Idea:

Put this bag of shredded money inside a box or container. Explain that you have at least $100 in the box. Then give someone a choice between the $100 box or something small like a box of chocolates. Then reveal that the $100 is shredded money and has no actual value. 

Many people live to get and gain. They focus on making money and keeping it but in the end, the things of this world will pass away. Someday when you die, even the money in your bank will be of no value to you. Instead of living for things that are here one day and gone the next, live for eternal things–for the things that affect lives now and last forever.
