For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant;
its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man
will fade away even while he goes about his business. James 1:11

Home's Cool! 
I like it, not because it is optimistic, but it links nature and business as I just did on “ignoble imagery”.
Funny how different sites seem to meld–great minds think alike, they say. 🙂
(…as it’s not optimistic!!)
Oh so especially appropriate here in AZ—or as a flight attendant put it on my recent return flight from a trip “Welcome to the surface of the sun”—-they usually say “welcome to the valley of the sun [which is Phoenix metro’s nickname]. Anyway—{focus, focus I must focus} your verse is very appropriate to scorching hot AZ—land of the declining home value. 🙂
The SURFACE of the sun! Wow. Kind of brazen?
The Word is true everywhere, though: Stuff can change overnight. Best not to put one’s confidence in stuff. I mean, it can wash away, blow away, burn away, etc. Only one thing endures forever, right? 🙂
