Rich

Tonight at worship we had a speaker that talked to us about Christians and finances. We told us about a website wwwglobalrichlist.com where you can put in your income and it will tell you how rich you are compared to the world. It is pretty amazing. I knew I would be a little surprised but I was actually more surprised at where I am than I thought I would be.

Here is what it said about me.
You're in the TOP 0.98%
richest people in the world!
You are the 59,029,289 richest person in the world!

That is so silly to me. (Trust me, I don't make that much.) It is so unbelievable that we are all living in the same world and can all be in such unbelievably different conditions and environments. I think my new prayer is for God to help me remember how blessed I am during times in which I can only think to complain.

Great lesson - we are very blessed and forget to be thankful.
